Default Cutout
Well.. I tried searching.. But there seems to be a "technical difficulty" and it just won't do it.. I am wondering.. Where is the "best" place to put the cutout on a front mount turbo car? Pics would be wonderful. thanks!

Depending on your exhaust setup, a cutout on a turbo car could really alter your boost level, couldn't it?

Would it be enough to throw you off your tune?

I plan to put cutouts close to the turbo as I can, which will be a few feet away when I get around to that part of my build. Right now I just run open down pipes.

Maybe YOU can, but I sure wouldn't want to. I want it tuned just right by someone much more experienced than me and then just leave it there!
