GTM TWIN TURBO install at HP Logic

^no ****, but when the wastegates open all hell breaks loose, its practically open headers. Which should sound pretty damn good/loud on the 6. Any creative accommodations for the dump

So does the standard GTM kit use plumb-back tubing or what?

this was the kit with the external wastegates and you have the option to use open dumps or return it to the exhaust

The pro of open dumps is less restriction in the exhaust as it send the wastegate exhaust out to atmoshpere, so it helps with maintaining boost and not slowing down the turbos once you reach desired boost, the con or pro to some is that it will be loud once the wastegates open up.

I love scaring people with mine, specially if they cut me off
