Have any of you had an issue with cops stopping you because of the loud noise from the wastegate opening? Obviously if youre wategate is open all the way you're probably going really fast and the cop would stop you for that, but I'm more thinking of a situation where a cop is down the road and doesnt see you, but hears you and then when they drive by your car and see it looks like it may be the culprit (ie gauges, jdm looks, ect) they pull you over? I'm just super paranoid and want to get a feel for others experience.

thanks!

No sense in being paranoid, just don't got WOT when you're unsure if the road is clear of cops. They aren't supposed to pull you over for what they hear, only what they see.

Then again, you live in NY. They send dudes to jail for shooting themselves so I dunno.

dude you are really blowing this whole wastegate thing out of proportion lol. The wastegate isnt loud unless it is open. Its not open unless you are WOT. If a cop sees a 400+whp car flying by WOT then you have more issues to worry about then a wastegate sound.

Its a high revving 4 cyl. turbo car. Its going to be loud to some extent. I have not been pulled over because of how loud my car is. If you are speeding then you are speeding and consider yourself lucky if they let you off the hook with a loud exhaust violation.

You just got the car turbo'd. ENJOY all the money you spent its actually a lot of fun lol
