Dcrasta Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Anyone heard a quest with this? I was talking to my drinking buddies last night, and we started talking about 'bub rub' and the whistle tips. Of course someone decided it would be a good idea. Normally I just cancel bad ideas, but one friend was really persuasive. He said he heard a nice supra with a dump tube that had a whistling pipe on it and once the wastegate opened it made sweet jet sounds. I know it sounds stupid, but the more I think of it, the more It sounds 'sweet' to have it go wooo wooooo! at full boost, and normal until then. What say you? http://www.millerarts.com/eyes/images/ads/bubbrubb.gif Edited January 27, 2009 by Dcrasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strickdawg Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 There was actually a turbo and dp on ebay a couple weeks ago that had one of those on there. looked kinda funny. Maybe you can find a video or sound clip of one, so we can hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 They are loud and ya it burns stuff. Try a duck call on the end of your BOV instead that's even more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 The supra in your buddy's story didn't have a whistle tip on the wastegate dumptube, it was just open, I'm sure. They are also called "screamer pipes" for that reason. I have an open wastegate right meow, and trust me, it makes enough sweet sound as it is. Also, if you restrict the flow after the gate, good luck having steady boost. It would probably spike and creep all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 NO Whistle tips please! Those things are so stupid...about the same "coolness" as one of those fake turbo whistles. What Technology is saying is true from what ive seen...they call them screamer pipes and THEY would be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 For those who haven't seen it Yes this is funny but I would never insult my quest by putting a duck call on the BOV. I think she would get even with me by breaking down the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcrasta Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Im thinking on the wastegate dump like this. or this Edited January 27, 2009 by Dcrasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentkilla Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Mine sounds more like the 944 but better, it has a mean wrx kinda sound when it opens. the longer u make it the quieter it is. I will see if i can get a clip when this crap dries up of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkdagger05 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Im thinking on the wastegate dump like this. or this that first one sounds like its dieing. I hate it worse than a honda fart can. uhg rod knocks will be next for mod sounds. not bashin ya but dang that thing too oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 that first one sounds sick. in the good way. The porsche, not so much. At low boost, the "turbonetics" AKA treadstone manifold sounds bad because the exhaust from only the #4 piston is going out, so it goes "psh psh psh psh psh psh..." But when you get higher up in the boost it starts the screaming. I can't wait to get my dumptube done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Or you could go internal wastegate, and keep it quite, smooth, and possibly have better spool time without all that extra welding and pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 eh, after I discovered how much noise the car already made with the wastegate closed, I decided the added noise wasn't going to put it over the top. Plus, you can always change it later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 it don't take long for an open waste gate seperate pipe to get old , that is all you will hear nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcrasta Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Ya my woman already thinks its loud (whats that whistling sound.. "its the Turbo honey, close the fresh air vent if you dont like how it sounds ) (I usually have that passenger vent open even in the winter for the 'Sounds') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 the fresh air vent It's called Diagnostics Port. Get it right. And Shelby, it wouldn't be too bad if the gate is set for high pressure. Then it only makes noise when you really romp on it, and that doesn't happen all thatmuch.

mc23 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I got a dump tube on my DSM, you will know when boost kicks in, all 30 psi of it, and when my anti-lag is turned on flames shoot out from underneath the car.... Its cool for a little while and there is a power gain from it but I like to hear just turbo spool. So it will be getting switched out with one that re-circulates. I can post pics of it when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc23 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Don't feel bad man... You got the sleeper affect, same with my DSM, its putting down close to 500HP with stock suspension, wheels, tires and a peeling clear coat... But everyone will know where all the money went. So what the hell why not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
