I noticed on the V3 DP that there is some weird plate in the middle of the bellmouth separating the exhaust i guess, but what the heck is that for? its like $40 more than the V2,so is it really better than the V2 or what? Thanks
EDIT: Downpipes
What does it mean divorced waste gate on the invidia V3?
A divorced wastegate (V3) vs. a bellmouth design (V2). The DW sucks all the wastegate air from the turbo through an alternate path which eventually routes back into the DP while the V2's bellmouth sucks all the air from the turbo.
It's a gimic. A true divorced wastegate should not use the internal gating of the turbo. They just put a little metal divider in their V2 design, charge you a little more, and call it a day.
