Wastegate: Dump Or Recirculate?

[blageo23]

What is your guys opinion. Right now I have my wastegate dumped and I kinda like how it sounds under boost, it sounds mean. BUT with is recirculated you would hear the turbo spool up which also sounds mean. What do you guys think?

[allyoucaneat_talon]

I like it DUMP. Fell the power and sounds mean. But it just LOUD.

I used to have dump and started to hate it after a while. Went to recirculating and haven't looked back. On my 3rd recirculating setup now. Something about hearing that turbo at full boost and not exhaust dumping out is what I love.

DUMP is ricy! Now ask yourself if you would rather have a nice clean looking/sounding car or a ricy car?

[asshanson]

I vote recirculate. It's a tad more expensive in general, but if you have the money I'd do it.

Recirculating is definitly the way to go IMO.

Route it back in, I had an external dump and it got real annoying.

[turbotalon1g]

External dump is fucking sick, but I would do an recirc. If its a street car that will see a lot of dumping i would recirc it.

[scheides]

Recirc. External dump is meh.

[blageo23]

hmm, noone likes the dump. Dang recirc is going to cost me another like $80+.

I've had my car dumped for a long time now. I like the sound of it, but I've never heard a recirculated either so I have to be a little bias.

If i ever get another bigger turbo that isnt a divided housing like pte's then i might dump out the bumper

[4g63tcrazy]

I dump right now and I have been for about 7 months or so. It's starting to get really annoying now.. Although video's of my car at the track with the dump sound sick as hell, I would just rather hear the turbo.

[TalonFiero]

Dump isn't ricy on a bigger turbo
Dump is fine for the street if your wastegate doesn't open until ~30+psi

Its proven to make more power and frankly sounds mean.

It never gets annoying on the street, I never hear my dump unless I am going WOT. Half throttle or even 3/4 throttle is more than enough to put around town and you will never hear the dump.

A 16g or 14b with an internally gated dump and 18psi is dumb

Pussy turbos+internal gates+low boost+dump does=ghey though.

[tpunx99GSX]

DUMP! Get a bigger turbo if you want to hear spooling. Actually i rarely even here the wastegate activate. I dont usually drive crazy on the streets, and at 25psi daily it rarely opens.

When i was dumping on the 50 trim it did get a little annoying because i would hit full boost earlier. But now im on the SCM61. I really should eventually upgrade to a BB turbo.

[HiImBrian]

I've got the external dump and I love it. It's an easy way to know how much boost you are at. As soon as I hear the dump I know I'm at 15psi. idk I think it sounds badass, but I haven't heard a recirc setup either so my opinion is bias.

My wastegate in recird'd off of my o2 housing, and I love it that way. There's no way I would ever dump it, to me it just sounds horrible.
