Default People running an EWG venting to atmosphere: can I hear your setup?

Hey everyone,

It looks like I might have to run an EWG to deal with the boost problems I am experiencing with my Green. If possible, I would like to listen to someone's EWG setup (venting to atmosphere) so I can see exactly how loud it is. If anyone has this type of setup and would be willing to let me listen to it briefly I would be more than happy to drive to your location so I can get an idea of the sound intensity. Thanks in advance

Ernie

Loud and nasty.

Extremely exciting when you are out having fun, extremely annoying when you are tired and just want to get home.

Just imagine an open exhaust.........

jdm addict is right... it's pucking loud! i have an ewg and catless also.

once you get the EWG done you could always have it plumbed back into the downpipe. originally that was how mine was done. where are you at?
me = newport by day, long beach by night


edit = what shop are you at? pm if you like

powerleak,

thanks for your reply; I am in orange county and at Aerosim Research most evenings. Do you think I could take a quick listen to your setup? I can meet up with you in newport beach anytime or if you would like you can drop by Aerosim. Let me know whether either of these options might work for you, thanks again.

If you have to ask how loud it will be...you shouldn't be considering it.

I have been told it is REALLY loud; but its hard to know what that means so I am hoping to get a better idea in person. Boost control problems suck...

Pull your catback off and drive. Thats how loud it will be when the wastegate opens. Sometimes its louder because the sound bounces off the ground. That just depends on where you point the dump pipe though.
