I trust the number you gave. I did the reading the same way. I need to get someone to help me with the WOT. I'll have stock reading later today.

Yeah, I'll get a better reading today. Mind you this reading was on my iphone as well. So I don't think it's the most accurate too!

I read a lot of reviews and it seems semi accurate. It doesn't bounce around a lot. Probably works as well as the $10 radio shack jobs.

I was told that it won't sound too good. The reason the TC sounds like it does is because of the TC itself. It reduces a lot of noises and creates high enough back pressure itself!

SC converted to turbo no resonator or muffler

Running 3in downpipe and 3in cat and 3in mandrel bent exhaust to the back with 5in tip. Pretty damn loud. GT30R turbo.

but you also do not have a resonator! that's a big reason why you're getting loud!

Best sound is the BOV with oversize dump tube

Running 24psi and when it dumps it is a flutter not a short burst. Way loud when you shift at someones door.

i get a little bit of flutter at under 5lb's after that its just like god is sneezing. lmao. iv never heard of an oversized dump tube though. what does that do just kinda puts the air in a place of low pressure before it goes through the BOV so it opens and closes it alot making a flutter

Never had heard the same sound before

The flutter lasts longer then a single burst. Seems like about 3 secs plus or minus. Just plain unnearving in a tunnel.
