Are exhaust cutouts worth it on a turbo car?

I have cutout and turbos and nitrous. They all work just fine together. Turbos gain a lot of power with cutouts .The best exhaust on turbo car is bascially none. The sts runs no muffler nothing.
I also like my turbo cars because they are stealthy .With cutout closed my car is not very loud at all. With it open you can also hear the turbos much better which is also fine with me. And I like what you said.I can run around say at 7.5psi you can't go under your gates on external gates but you can go under by controlling with your right foot.
At wot though you go to gate boost or sometimes creep past it some.
But anyway can have 7.5 psi for general street use. Still about 750 engine hp with no spray on my combo and then dial it up to say 15psi and have 1000rwhp with spray and boost. And you can also do various methods of ramping up the boost with rpm or gear ,etc.
Nice to have options.

I have seen cars blown up by changing the exhaust going big and cutting out the cat as well.but these are internally gated turbs. External gates keep control much better as they are much bigger than little internal gates .
Most of the big dogs run external gates.
maybe engineer mike was on internal gate? If he was on external almost sound like he had a crappy gate or line fell off it or something.
Quality gates are one thing you don't cheap on for good reason. I like tial and turbomsmart personally. Both good stuff.
