its up to you mate if you like the little wooosh sound make it half and half if not fully recirc

What ya mean half and half? you cant change the amount of noise vs recirc............... the twisty bit is only the spring stiffness - to hold the pressure all the way until you lift off the throttle. amount of sound is dependant on the level of boost. mines louder now on 20 psi than it was on 10!!!

ps Lee....... shuushhhh! its a rubbish noise you can barely hear!! and even worse in reverse - stupid budgie squeek!

:) mix the emmense growl of my exhaust, turbo whistle, the split r whoooosh, and the pops and bangs - yer, LOVE IT!! :clap:

Hummm this is true - if you think thats loud try a split r on! I was thinking of taking off the sound proofing and polishing it all up under the bonnet, or adding in the silvery goodness.................

yeah I know what I mean is you can have it either fully recirculate or part atmospheric I'm not sure of the percentage may be more like 30% atmospheric and 70% recirculate
