Default Damn wastegate stinks like ****!

Ugh...After everytime I drive my car I become nausiated by the horrible smell coming from my Deltagate external wastegate. Is there anyway to get rid of that smell? I have a DRAG III with the T3/T04E upgraded ball bearing turbo. Can I use another type of wastegate that doesn't make me sick everytime I hit the throttle?

Haha funny stuff. You need to have piping installed to route your wastegate dumptube back into your exhaust.

What part of the exhaust should I route the dumptube to?

just back into the exhaust somewhere, downpipe, or back further.

Have it reenter the downpipe at least 18'' away from the turbo at at most a 45 degree angle. Shouldnt affect performance too much that way.
