What is a screamer pipe?

I think Instead of the Turbo wastegate dumping the boost back into the exhaust pipe, a seperate pipe is run from it so the Turbo noise is a lot louder.

A dump valve?

[joeishmather]

I gave thought about doing this, but apparently it's quite expensive as the aftermarket dump valve has to be welded on.
Would also be interested if there was anyone who's done it tho.

No, the wastegate regulates the pressure the Turbo puts out, once the correct pressure is achieved it dumps the excess into the exhaust. A dump valve releases the pressure from the boost pipe work to stop it stalling the compressor wheel when you let off the throttle.

Ah, so is this 'screamer' a easier thing to fit? Im interested in this now, never heard of this before...

Im not sure how its done but quite a few cars in bham hav got them on. Ive heard it on a 525d and a golf tdi.sounds sorta like r32 or s3 exhaust.
