its an external wastegate exhaust pipe, so if you have an external wastegate (illegal on street) because your turbo is so big it cant house an internal wastegate, then the external wastegate doesnt go through the turbo > turbo dump pipe > exhaust like usual, it goes through the screamer pipe instead.

and then u get the people that weld a piece of metal between the rear turbine and the internal gate
and run a screamer off an internally gated turbo

screamer is really loud when it vents
good for gating old people walking home from lawn bowls

If you have a factory turbo it would have an internal gate. So the guy would be getting your internal gate to vent bypassed exhaust out into the atmosphere instead of back into the main exhaust. The sound pretty cool but there illegal for street use.

why is an external gate illegal?
some cars came out stock with them

tyottsoarer wrote on Thu, 02 June 2005 20:47 | An external gate is illegal because it vents exhaust gas into the atmosphere that hasn't passed through the catalytic converter. If it comes on a factory car I think you'd find that it would be plumbed back into the exhaust, so the exhaust gas bypasses the whole turbo exhaust housing. The term "external gate" is used because the gate is external to the turbo charger unit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

External wastegates are not illegal.
They are used because most internal wastegates are too small to flow a lot of exhaust gas in a higher performance application.
It is illegal to not plumb a wastegate back into the exhaust system (screamer pipe).
As AE95 said, you can make a screamer pipe from both an internally or externally gated turbo setup.
The term 'external gate' has nothing to do with weather or not a wastegate is plumbed back into the exhaust pipe....

A lot of confusion here. The term "external wastegate" simply means the wastegate is separate from the turbo, as opposed to most (all?) OEM setups which have the wastegate integrated into the exhaust housing of the turbo (aka "internal wastegate"). In most cases external wastegates are plumbed back into the exhaust after the dump pipe, and there is nothing illegal about this at all.
There are performance benefits in dumping the external wastegate directly to atmosphere via a so-called "screamer pipe", but as mentioned this is highly illegal and fscking loud.

Aye... They do vary - some I've heard have been pretty tame, although I have seen one on a fairly highly strung rotor that gave the eardrums a pretty tight workout!

External gate is an externale gate. Whether the pipe coming off the external gate vents into the atmosphere or back into the exhaust piping deems it a screamer or not.
And I gotta say it should be illegal. Just from the noise factor alone. Turbo + no exhaust is bloody loud. I can imagine that a screamer pipe would be the same.

yeah true , but most aftermarket external wastegates dont plumback into the exhaust , they just vent into atmo

I would have to agree where are these facts comming from they sound like people have been reading to much fast fours. External waste gates don't vent to atmosphere usless you make them porshec use a external waste gate on some of there cars these don't vent to atmosphere.

There is so much crap in this thread, so as they say a picture speaks 1000 words.
1. External Wastegate with Outlet Pipe back to exhaust system (but looking a little dodgy)

2. External Wastegate with outlet pipe to atmosphere (screamer pipe)

As mentioned by some of the knowledgeable people above an internal wastegate can also be "screamed" by simply dividing the exhaust flow.

Skip, your second pic where the ext gate goes to atm isn't too clear. It looks like it just goes into a bit of flex pipe and dissappears from view. Unless I'm mistaken...
Apparently sigma gsr comes standard with an external wastegate

You'll deffinatly need a dump pipe mate, that comes off the exaust housing and runs to the exhaust. All a screamer pipe is, is a short length of pipe that runs from the external wastegate (you don't have one if you've got a stock CT26) straight to the atmosphere.

yes very true but i was reffering to that they dont come with the equipment to plum back into the exhaust, ITS UP TO THE OWNER TO DO THAT OR LEAVE IT VENTED INTO ATMO thats what i was trying to say
basically in a nutshell the atmo venting part of the pipe from a external wastegate (or an internal wategate modified) is what is called a screamer pipe

A screamer pipe is a pipe that comes out of the wastegate and vents to atmosphere.
A dump pipe is the part of the exhaust that comes off the turbine housing of the turbo.

Buy new one... or weld old one????

I'm assuming this too. If it is, it'd be cheaper to just replace the cracked piping and get them to weld on another adaptor plate thingo and attach the BOV back on.

fixed the problem, with this thing called, quicksteel<-- best thing ever invented $10.50 at peps and it works a treat... have tried and tested it and works so far... only took an hour to dry aswell.... will take a photo after i get back from soccer

alright then can somone inform me of the benefits of seperating you r internaly gated waste-gate gas from the other gas going through the turbo? and then merge them later down the pipe?

The idea is to minimise turbulence after the exhaust turbine, which improves flow and response.
