Considering doing this for my 1.4L
Maybe an exhaust clamp between the round throttle body end to an exhaust pipe of the same size. Then I can use a square block off plate cover the flange side for inspection (if any).

Just worried about heat. The cable might get hot and melt and get stuck open. Or be too hot to run inside the car safely.

Or this if it's not too loud.

Me'h seems like a hillbilly DIY thing. No matter what you do a 4 cylinder will sound like a fart in a can, unless it's a boxer layout like the WRX..

That's just IMHO...so not really worth much

So we don't have a turbo sound even with an open exhaust?

We do have noises but without a decent muffler it sounds AWFUL. I don't think I've heard a ricier exhaust than a straight pipe sonic...

However a down pipe and good muffler like a Series 40 Flowmaster actually sounds throaty and you get lots of turboie goodness from the dp

And I didn't mean that to read like an insult

USED to be a setup from VCP exhaust, not made anymore I think, I thought it sounded pretty good.....
