Just had a thought.. for the 50%+ of us that do NOT use a wastegate dump tube,
isn't the exhaust dumping into the engine bay?

In my setup, the dump opening of the wastegate would pour the exhaust onto my
turbo manifold. Althought I doubt this would hurt it, isn't this potentially dangerous to other parts in the enginebay (plastic parts, plastic electrical connectors, silicone
vacuum tubes, etc)?

 

howmuch does the dumptube quiet things up???
im gonna run a dump tube to the open air but im hoping to keep the wastegate loud *** sound

 

Hmm.. I was thinking that it would do more than just make the enginebay
dirty. Isn't there REALLY HOT exhaust coming out from there?

 

you would have to boost your max all the time to do that.

 

My dump tude (i have no tude connected to the wastegate, so i guess you can say open wastegate) is right over fan shroud, and hasn't melted it yet. Of course it hasn't been 104 degrees outside yet,and i don't boost everytime i get into my beast, so we'll see.
