yeah but then you dont get the flow benefit, well not nearly as much, how long is your screamer pipe? mine is about 30in long incl the bends and it dumps below the firewall i know when it was just about 8-10in piece pipe it was loud as fu**

if you want ill dig up some pics of my set up.

but dont get me wrong i have thought numerous times about recirc mine too, especially since the new turbo is gonna sing like a fat lady at an opera lol :]

It's only loud if your at full boost. How often are you at full boost? And I think it sounds ******' awesome and will always run an open wastegate for horsepower reasons and for sound reasons!

We're talking an open wastegate. If you recirc it, you're getting rid of it. If you don't know what your talking about don't speak. lol
