I remember seeing a pic on here where somebody ran an open WG for just a little bit. They melted the radiator hoses or I think it was the AC lines.

If you cna't afford a wastegate flange or are still waiting for one. you can still drive. jsut don't hit enoguh boost where your WG opens up. cause it WILL melt **** depending what it's facing

i'm running my 38mm without a dump tube just fine. It is aimed directly toward the front of the car and i don't melt anything. I don't have any ac lines though.
