Please use punctuations... My head hurts.
To answer your question, open wastegate has nothing to do with full boost... The wastegate itself has a spring inside of it and opens to maintain a steady boost pressure, so it you have a 10LB spring and are boosting 15LBs, it's going to open BEFORE you hit full boost... It's LOUD when it opens.

Open wastegate as everything to do with full boost (hence the wastegate is controlling boost pressure). But with the original question no, you do not need a dumptube for the wastegate. I have seen many people that have run the wastegate open with no tube on it and also running open downpipe with that too. Its not that loud at all, just sounds good

Re: open wastegate (HarfordCTR)
Not to mention any wiring, vac. hose, etc or anything like that will be melted by the extremely hot gases it releases. You will also have a ton of un-ness. heat from not directing the gases under the car or at least toward the ground.

atmosphere dump is louder but seems to result in a little more power... as to where recirculated back into the downpipe would obviously be quieter and make slightly less power.
if you dont mind the noise... atmosphere dump is MUCH more fun imo...

Re: open wastegate (twkdCD595)
My dumptube goes down under my oil pan and it's like it's not even there. I'm running a T3/T4 Garret with a TiAL WG and 5psi spring, doesn't sound like I have a leak or anything. It's actually quieter than when I was N/A. I have 2.5" from turbo -> 42" 4" diameter resonator then 2.5" to a brospeed muffer with 2.5" tip. Sounds so quiet, I love it. I'm sure I'd gain more power by opening it up but I love NOT getting attention from cops.
