Your wastegate I guess could have a small muffler put on it but its probably easier to just recirculate it into the downpipe.

what noise does the waste gate make? are you sure its not the bov making the noise?


I had my greddy type s bov installed and it made NO NOISE at all o.0


I swapped it for a louder one LOL as I like scaring the little rivers driving around hehe

ok so i did the muffler mod/thing and it sound perfect i cant here the opening wastegate at all... the only problem is after 3 days of driving it untuned the lil muffler got full of junk and the W/G could not waste as good as its suposed too... so i was boosting 10 psi :S so i took it off... and i guess i'll have to get it recirculate in the exhaust...

+1 ! Sure it will get coated with blackness but there should be nothing to "fill" the muffler.
