Just have a split-dump made, and dont plumb the wastegate pipe in... and thats that.

Although, its going to sound exceptionally poor with a small turbo/internal gate.

It will also most likely leak at idle aswell, so ye. Go for your life, just dont be disappointed when its not what you expect :P

if ur going to use it on a internal gate turbo its going to sound like a big exhaust leak

It will have a small exhaust leak sound at idle but when the car comes onto boost........WOW its REALLY LOUD.

Greenline have nightpager screamer pipes listed

If the exhaust/wastegate is designed well and works (flows), a screamer offers nothing but noise. No performance gain what so ever

so ur saying a almost instant free flowing wastegate will produce no advantages? i get this by basicly comparing it to a 1inch pipe that ports back into the exhaust. there defiently would be restrictions there???

i woulda thought it would at least defiantly hold boost better.

again correct me if im wrong.....

so... how is a screamer dump pipe different to a dump pipe??? i take it a dump pipe pushes wastegate gases through the exhaust system and the screamer pipe will blow it directly into atmosphere, which would make more power and noise but would be illegal... is that right

ive got a few mates with screamer dump pies the worst part about them is the exhaust leak on idle once you get going the leak is hardly noticable but when the internal gate open the sound is quality!

I have an external wastegate HKS. I had a screamer pipe and sounded really loud. I felt like I am looking for trouble plus...was all noise, was so loud you had to back off the accelerator after 6psi boost. I had made a new downpipe and plumed in. Noise gone and car runs much better.

Now I go close to 20 psi sometimes(instance). I think is cool to have performance no noise. If you look for noise take your exhaust off...will be same thing!!!! I don't think you gain any power. I lost nothing pluming in!

Just a thought, you can ignore it!!!

Eug.

As i said before.

If the exhaust is free flowing enough, then it wont make a difference.

Having a dump (with a int gate feed/split dump) or screamer is no different really.

The air is physically still coming out of the same wastegate hole size, that doesnt change. So i cant see how its going to affect boost pressure when the gate size doesnt change, not the air passing by it.

do screamer pipes on ext wastgates have any effect on performance?

Definitely. The gas going out the gate doesn't go through the exhaust -

more "space" for the gas spinning the turbo (basically, any time the

gate is open there is less backpressure than there would be with a

plumb-back).

Also, the bled gas is only pushing against atmospheric pressure, not

what's already in the exhaust (basically, a given gate size can bleed more

gas; or same gas at lower duty cycle; or smaller gate can handle same

bleed requirement to maintain boost).

correct me if im wrong but dont screamer pipes spool quicker and hold boost better

won't spool quicker (the gate has no effect till it's opened).

Might hold boost better where the gate is too small - a plumbed-back gate will be

able to bleed off less gas than the same size gate opened to atmosphere. Better

to get the right-size gate.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
