Is the additional noise the sound you would get from a Dump Valve or are you looking for a louder turbo whistle?.
If its the latter I think your snookered but I have read somewhere (Other forums, different car) that Dump Valves can be fitted. not too sure to the RCZ tho
Might be an idea looking around for "retro fit dump valve".
But if I were you and I think I know where past posters are comming from, you don't need to add these things to the RCZ, the actual car does the head turning on its own.(just my view so don't shoot

Just a thought, most dump valves are silenced by passing into the air box thro a sound suppressor, if you could find a way to vent to open air rather than that system it would do the same as a retro fit dump, but I am not sure if the ECU takes a sensor reading from that system, so it may throw a wobbly if you did disconnect.

First I should say that the attempts at humour shouldnt be mistaken for us knowing the answer to your question but just choosing not to tell you, but rather they are just some humorous musings intended to entertain.................it would be a terrible thing if this forum had no humour!
In seriousness though......The RCZ turbo dump valve does not vent to the air but rather recirculates internally hence theres no whooooosh sound - There was a previous thread on this issue somewhere but to my knowledge no-one on here has retro fitted a dump valve venting to the outside.........................however theres always a first which may be you Joaofisio??? if so I'm sure we'd all be wanting you to post a video of it

Forge Motorsport do a replacement externally venting dump valve, it's listed fro the 308 but I believe it's the same one for the RCZ.

A quick word with my source at Peugeot tells me that a dump valve would invalidate the warranty, so make sure its not fitted if you ever put the car in.

There is a good reason you cannot dump to atmosphere - it is not compliant with current emissions law, all manufactures must dump back into the intake - recirculation reduces CO2 emissions and keeps your road tax down, without this you will fail the MOT.

Fail MOT..... maybe not, as test is carried out at 2500/3000 rpm and at tick over (idle) so waste gate would be shut at revs and also shut again at idle.
The dump back into the air box is to stop it making so much noise, it has no effect on CO2 as it is clean air (well cleanish) from the intake system. It may however effect the EGR, but I think not as it would have dumped the air pressure it did not want into the air box anyway (as I said above to keep its noise down) so the EGR would get a pressure drop anyway.

I can confirm that taking a dump out in the open is not compliant with the law, well not in Swansea anyway. :lol:
