External wastegates. Legal?

[maxim]

Hey Guys,

I heard today someone mentioning that external wastegates are illegal in the ACT (maybe aus wide). Anyone know if this is correct?

Thanks

from wshat i know they are fine

No, i don't believe so.

As long as they pass into the exhaust tract before the catalytic converter.

[whytry]

NO totally illegal in ALL states, unless like ewan has said that you plumb it back through the exhaust.

[Aurora]

No screamer pipe fun for us

[Amaru]

theyre all illegal because they make that tututututut flutter noise jks

[ferni]

illegal, same as a blow of valve (externally venting)

[Aurora]

Well, if it's hidden below everything, makes it hard to see...

But i thought if it was plumbed into the exhaust it was fine...emissions and such....same as an atmo BOV.

so they're nlegal if they're plumed back, so basically a external wastegate is like a bov but after the turbo

all externally vented wastegates either internal or external are illegal ie.screamer pipes.the gas must not be vented to atmosphere before the cat or muffler.hope that clears a few things up
