this is my first turbo setup...tell me what u think of the dump tube install..it's a drag DP i made the rest...let me know what u think...it works with the ac as well...i still have to finish weldin it and smooth out the welds..then it's off to HPC in chandler to get coated inside and out with my mani and turbo housin...

 

i would have made your wastegate dump come into your downpipe on a more sharp angle. in fact just leave your wastegate open and put a 10 inch pipe at the end. its been dyno tested before and an open dump will save you a few hp

 

thx for the comment..i dunno like the sound of a open wastegate..i'm gettin the motor built now for the extra HP

 

hope your not building it just because you dont like the sound

 

You should have re-entered the wg on the other side of the bend or made the entry point a litte more gradual.

 

no no...i had to get it built..i just blew a ringland...so now it's gettin BUILT..full race is doin the work

j/k

 

nice smooth big bends, it looks great. your not giving up **** in the wg, dont listen to some noob who is gonna tell you to sacrafice your enjoyment of your car for a 1-2% increace in power.

 

^^^exactly. There are many threads about the open/closed dumptube debate. Basically it was tested a long time ago and if the dumptube enters the downpipe at least 18 inches from the turbo, then you will basically not see any difference in the performance.

I will agree with you, I ran open dumptube for awhile....now that I am rebuilding myself I am closing it up.

And even if you do lose 1% of say 500 or 600whp, thats only 5 or 6whp haha. I think you can spare a mesely* 5whp to quiet the exhaust down and listen to the turbo more.

 

It looks alright...

It will most likely work just fine, I would have made the angle a little smoother though.

I am thinking about running my dump back into my downpipe, I am getting annoyed with the lawnmower sound from the open dump. I don't blame you for wanting it closed, much quieter that way.

 

ive recirculated my dumptube...helps keep the noise down and from scaring little kiddies....and when i want them off the road i just open my 3" ecutout
