dumping wastegate into downpipe vs not doing it
The setup i have bolts the wastegate to the downpipe so that the dump goes back into the downpipe.. do you lose power from this? or is this still an efficent setup?

ok, cool, i bought the setup off of a drag crx from a local shop so i figured it would be fine, i jsut have never seen a setup like that... the flange is actually only like 4 inches away tho lol but 5 hsp isnt anything serious.

i need to dig up a dno sheet... a guy was running an fmax kit where the wg dumps right into the exhaust 3-4" after the turbine outlet... he ran open dump and gained 40whp at the same boost level
