Happen to be near me at all? I'm in southeastern PA :| Looking to get at least the tial setup next and I just had downpiipes put on and was looking at those cutout mods. What do you think of that cutout you have, looks nice?
What did each of those cost?
I live in southeastern Massachusetts. I love the exhaust cutout although very expensive approximately $2000. The wastegate mod was around $650 complete with the gate and repowdercoating the pipe
Someone told me they ran the wastegate mod and car was running hotter vs the throttle control method. Do you find that with yours?

That was me... and yes, I have datalogs to prove it. It's a great modification but my turbos did run hotter. First through second gear was not bad as the wastegate mod didn't open much... third gear with no throttle control the wastegate opens longer which causes the turbos to work harder to keep the boost..
I didn't poo poo the modification. I loved it when I ran it, but I believe personally using the throttle works better on this car to control the boost spikes.
Again... this is just my opinion on my car... others run it and like it..
There are dynos of those with and without the modification... they are identical in curve and output... so why stress the turbos for little to no gain?
Keeping the throttle open does make the car much more responsive.
