If it's anywhere near your inlet it's probably dumping exhaust gases into your intake charge when it opens. Ideally, dumptubes should be routed well away from the cold side of the turbo, preferably at least down under the oil pan.

u will lose power, put a dump tube on there, the turbo will suck in the carbon from the remaining exhaust gases

yup

i guarantee you are losing hp by not having it vented out side. i gained 25 whp on a dyno dynamics dyno, just by having my wg vent to outside the engine bay. i even have a dump tube. cheapest 25 whp ever
