i didnt say it was stock i just said it sounded stock. sounded like it came with the car. kinda like a jetta or something i guess lol

 

How can a turbo sound stock? You are aware that the 16G came stock on a variety of cars right?

 

yeah i no that. i guess because its not as loud or something? thats just hte way ive heard it described by many ppl. on a lancer the t25 sounds like it came stock on the car. if uve heard a lancer with the t25 tell me what do u think of it?

 

The two should sound more or less the same. Moreover you don't pick a turbo based on how it sounds, you pick it based on whether it suits your needs.

 

the old rrm kits used t25s.

 

Keep in mind that turbos more or less sound the same, you just hear the flow of exhaust fumes. Since you won't be running a lot of boost, the wastegate will be the dominant sound.

 

the only thing i hear is my external wastegate at WOT, but when driving regular you cant even tell that i am boosted

 

Yeah externals are pretty loud, I can even hear mine now that I'm stage 2 and mine's an internal wastegate.

 

yeah mines internal wastegate. You hear the turbo spool, but other than that it just goes. People can't believe it. And yes honestly it sounds like a stock turbo car with exhaust.

 

u may not pick a turbo for how it sounds but i do. i just turned 17 and i like htings that sound cool.

 

whats the difference between external and internal wastegate?

 

internal is of course part of the housing and doesn't need a special type of manifold. External is used when internal is not there and needs a manifold made than can support a external wastegate and a runner going to the wastegate.

 

I'm sorry but considering the questions asked here, I wouldn't suggest touching your car. If you don't know what you're doing, it's very risky to start modifying things. If you're buying a turbo based on sound, you have a hell of a lot of research to do.

 

hes still in high school...
keep reading, theres more things to learn than "sound"

... and dont ask about BOVs next

 

I'm guessing the next question will be what's the difference between a BOV and a wastegate. Everyone starts somewhere.
