exhaust cutout

**mightywolf** · Sunday 2nd January 2011, 17:46

Has anyone had an exhaust cutout on their volvo? And would it work ok with a turbo?
I know they are fine on naturally aspirated engines but does a turbo'd motor need the pressure from the exhaust?
I was thinking about an electronicly controlled one.

i've got a QTP exhaust cut-off on BT, its more beneficial on turbos before the less back pressure the better

Cracking job. Apart from the sound, is it any good?

tbh i think i only used it once before i took BT off the road so can't really make a judgement on any performance differences it made, hopefully she'll be back on the road soon so promise to use it more & find out lol
