Turbo Spooling #'s!! I just got done putting in 2- 3in. cutout's on my exhaust this evening. With them open i can actually hear the turbo's,but will they spool quicker!!! Also what kinda extra power do you guy's think i can expect from the cutout's being open.Thank's in advance!

The power will definately go up. How much is a good question. The dyno will let you know. Are the cutouts electric? I wanted a boost activated cutout like Jerry had, but they are back ordered to forever.

Yeah they are electric. Hopefully they will last a little while.I know they usually don't though! I am only about 50rwhp away from the 800 mark at 12lbs of boost. Hopefully the cutout's will make that much more of a difference.

i tuned it for open, then drove it around closed and opened it up when i wanted to romp on it and had no problems.

Brand new also. The other one blow's fuses and want's to burn up the wire.i took them back off and just going to do it manually with plate's as the block off until i get the electrical issue figured out.
If you tune for them being open, in my experience with a restrictive, quiet catback, the car will be too rich to even pull through. When I was playing with PE vs RPM, it would take 3-4 psi to get back to the same a/f with the cutout closed compared to open.

I was told that when I close the cutout's that it would be running richer.it is going to be tuned for them to be opened,. I will have them closed when the wife ride's with me so she won't complain,but it sound's good to me,and i can even here the turbo's now!
KP, i have been hiding in the a/c...its almost too hot to ***** and it IS too hot to ***** for long 
its been 100 here lately....its 10:30pm and its 90 degrees NOW. I figure mid/late september before we hit the track again. Gotta try out this 3.08 gear
