Wastegate dump pipe
What did you guys with the drag turbo kit do with your dump pipe? Is it ok to just bolt the thing on or does it need to be hooked up to your exhaust somehow?

just bolt it on. If you want a closed loop system weld it down on the downpipe closeer to the cat somewhere in that area.

Yeah, it can be bolted on and run open fine. The problem with that is, once you hit hit full boost and the wastegate opens up any living creature in the immediate vicinity will have the **** scared out of them! The more so the higher you boost!

Re: Wastegate dump pipe (JMinSi2000)
when you;re cruising, you're on vaccuum, wastegate is closed on vaccum, so nothing is going thru the dump tube
at wide open throttle..then it;s different story, I call it a V8 on crack..

Re: Wastegate dump pipe (JMinSi2000)
My dump pipe just heads straight down just below teh front of my engine. You can hear the wastegate flutter when it opens during normal driving. I like the sound but it isn;t very loud even when I'm boosting hard. Thing is I really don't like my deltagate because I have to warm up the car for like 8 mins before the damn thing will open. Does anyone have this problem with the wastegate taking forever to open?

Re: Wastegate dump pipe (Flamenco-T)
hmm, my wastegate is a delatgate with a 7lb spring. it won't usually open until around 180 degrees F. What kind of wastegate are using and what would you reccomend, because I am getting to the point of where I;m ready to toss this thing for something better. I am still unsure as what to get though. Suggestions?

Re: Wastegate dump pipe (dlplayboy)
The thing I don't like about my drag wastegate dump tube is that is dumps its exhausts right on my intercooler piping and oil return pine.... anyone else think this might hurt my performance?

Re: Wastegate dump pipe (servion).. big pic (Dee)
Has anyone ever tried to add any type of muffler, or baffle to reduce the sound of the wastegate? Or, do you all just leave it open, or run it back into the exhaust pipe?
