If you can adjust it, in theory you can make it so at idle the vacuum is enough to open the cutout? Basically making it switch operated with a solenoid? The solenoid, controlled by a toggle switch, will decide if the cutout sees vacuum or not. That part is easy. The harder part is actually having vacuum available to the solenoid. Under WOT vacuum goes away, so unless you have a vacuum check valve installed the vacuum will go away and cutout will close. Luckily OEMs have been using vacuum to power things forever so we have a reliable inexpensive solution available off the shelf. [http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-14047619-Original-Equipment-Control/dp/B000C982H2?ie=UTF8&keywords=vacuum%20check%20valve&qid=1459352185&ref\_=sr\_1\_2&sr=8-2](http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-14047619-Original-Equipment-Control/dp/B000C982H2?ie=UTF8&keywords=vacuum%20check%20valve&qid=1459352185&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2) So let’s say you’re done tooling around with the valves open and want to shut them because your ears are bleeding, you remove power from the solenoid (again via toggle switch), but the valves stay open, because the check valve is still holding the existing vacuum to the valves. This is where I am on the fence, I could install a momentary pushbutton bleeder valve; either way that portion of the lines needs to be bled of vaccum in order for the valves to shut. Spring pressure isn’t adjustable without some fooling around, they spot TIG’d the ends of the butterfly shaft so you can’t easily remove the guts ---

Im talking about a cutout after the downpipe whichis after the turbo. I already have one but its a manual one that i have to crawl under and unbolt. Currently my car like most grand nationals has an internal wastegate which exhaust gases are bypassed into the downpipe so its basically recirculated. ---

so some ups and downs got the fishmouths mocked up on the midpipes, traced out the insides, removed the pipes from the car. drove around the block with no pipes, wow it’s loud, should be fun. also tacked together fishmouths to v-bands, v-bands to valves. I forgot to order turndowns so I don’t melt anything, got a 180\* mandrel bend on the way from summit, will be here in a couple days.
