Venting wastegate to atmosphere? So I have heard all the positives to venting the wastegate (boost control, no exhaust back pressure, no creep...) but what are the potential downfalls? How loud are vented wastegates with a couple feet of pipe running off them?

Mine dumps stright to the atmostphere and I love the jet turbine sound. When I took it to dyno It was really loud in the shop and in tunnels it scares the **** out of people.

If you were to run a closed cutout after the downpipe into a quiet catback. Would you be able to hear the motor through the wastegate or it it pretty much just the "jet" sound?

Some people have run motorcycle resonators on their dumps. Haven't personally done any like that but most customers like the open dump over running into the exhaust.
