hi this mite be totaly silly but ..... you know the air thing that makes the air twist like a wirl wind. and you putit in the air flow to make the air movefaster. could you make something to fit in the manofold.to make the air in there move faster to go in the turbo( would it make more power or an just an idiot and now nothing about how turbos work ....

Think about all the twists and turns the air has to go through before reaching the combustion chamber, not least of which is a set of turbo impellers spinning at a few hundred thousand RPM! Nothing that is done to the motion of air at the filter end will have any effect whatsoever, except maybe being a restriction on the engine sucking in what it needs!

Screamer pipe isnt a problem on the MOT, as it wont be venting when its below the set boost level anyway.
Likewise for driving around normally on the road, and it will still pass a ministry static test as well, only thing you are at risk of really is something like a section 59 for making too much noise, but if you dont get it on boost in built up areas that shouldnt be an issue.

FORGET trackdays though, unless you can get on a (very rare) full nosie day.

My exernal gate on the nova feeds back into the exhaust further down.

so what is better external waste gate or intrenal...... i have a bailesy dump valve. but not fussed on the sound .. so dont mind getting rid if i up grade my turbo so good to know what one before i buy and do morte pipe work

External gives better boost control and effectively makes your exhaust a bigger bore at the same time (if atmospheric)

Wastegates have nothing to do with dump valves.

Depends on the application which is better, internal are simple, cheaper, lighter, so I try to use them where I can but for more extreme applications (400bhp+) I'll generally go to an external as it allows me to change the spring or to run dual port control on it.

ok lost me , i thought that the waste gate wason the turbo and you closeed over with a cap thing then fitted the b dump valve

is this wrong

Not even close mate, wastegate is to allow exhaust gasses to bypass the turbine to limit boost, a dump valve releases inlet pressure to prevent turbo surge when the throttle is closed.

Anyone else correct me if i'm wrong! the dump valve is there so when your turbo is spinning and pumping air in to engine through TB. you take ya foot off pedal and throttle plate shuts! now turbo is still spinning and that air being pumped by turbo has to go somewhere!! (creating air pressure on one side of throttle plate)
At that same point the other side of throttle plate becomes a vacuum! Because the air is still being pulled out engine down exhaust.!
The dump valve lets the air pass from the pressurised side to the vacuum side to keep a feed of air(and because it was accounted for by air flow meter when it entered the engine! It cant let it out into open air.

Every turbo has to do this!! but they do it in silence!!!
adding dump valve is just changing pluming from the silent one to a noisy one!

The wastgate is there so when your flooring it and your turbo is spinning building pressure its a safety thing so it all doesn't blow up! meaning the more air spins the ex hast side of turbo as its leaving engine, the more it pumps air into engine if you didn't have a wastgate it would just keep getting faster and faster and FASTER ...... then bang!!

The actuator is connected to amle valve via ECU and controls what psi your turbo can build pressure to! by opening and closing wastgate!

You are right about how a dump valve works, but not all cars have one, my cossie engine doesnt have one at all for example.
