Hello there, a question. As I look more into the different type of exhaust dump pipes for the GT3540,

A ) A merged system from turbine to cat. incorperates the exhaust outlet with the wastegate outlet.

B ) A seperate exhaust outlet from the turbo with a spliced waste gate pipe merging into the dump pipe further down the system seperating the wastegate with the exhaust outlet.

If you understand my words without a diagram great!

Now with example A. I assume both exhaust gas and waste gate gass merge together within one large tube,

While Example B you have the exhaust gas venting seperate from the wastegate gas..This being

would it be possible. though highly illegal. only race intended to use Example B. venting the integral waste gate gasses to atmoshpere without the use of changing to an external waste gated turbo.

Strange I know but thinking if the face of the turbine butting against the turbine flange is flush with

the exhaust dump flange along with a gasket. Parting the both ports so no leaks from the exhaust exit the waste gate pipe this could be possible?

Just wondering if there are any techs that know the GT3540 rear housing and if this could even be feasable?

Thanks

Dan.

yes its possible but when u do this with an internally gated motor it sounds like it has a big exhaust leak on idle pay the extra coin an get a externall wastegate

Yes this is the optimal way, I may just have to shed the dollars and grab a external.

An ETM external gate kit would be wat your after, but not worth doing unless your running decent boost. And at under $1k seems like good value

hey mate theres a site called best mufflers that have tried and tested in a xr6 turbo your point B ) with a seperate wastegate line (twin dump) with not so good results, they also tested on the same car I single 4inch dump which gave an extra 20-25rwkw over the twin dump. in saying that the twin dump did give extra rwkw but not nearly as good as a signle 4inch dump and is the same price.

yes but that was not a back to back test either - different cat for both runs.

but I agree with just getting a 4" dump instead of a split one

A screamer pipe cannot be done without it leaking across into the wastegate tube unless the turbo is modified. This is due to there being no gasket or seal between the internal gate and exhaust wheel. Best off going with ETM's modded exhaust housing with external gate. This is really only needed for high power applications.

great thankyou all for the replies. ill stick with a nice single 4" dump to 3.5 " exhaust as I have to take it easy until march 2011 when my warrenty runs dry. 320 at the rear is just about as far as I can push it untill I have to void warrenty and this I dont want :S

thanks anyway. especially for the dump choice I was really in two minds there.
