Wastegate position doesn't really matter as long as it gets adequate flow. You want to route your dumptube so that it moves waste gases away from the intake side of the turbo, usually down toward the oil pan or down and out toward the fender.

 

thanks for the response...i might just go and get it welded to point down or just flip it to the other side...if it fits

 

having it shoot at the coolant hose inst exactly a wise thing.

 

definitly aim that sucker down, its gonna shoot black stuff everywhere

 

^yup. get all the exhaust gas out of the bay

 

it WILL melt things so choose where to point it wisely!

 

you could always have the dumptube hook up to your exhaust system somewhere.....i have seen people hook it right up to their DP and i have seen people run the dumptube like 5' then to their exhaust.....

i just had mine run down under the oil pan and go back like 2'..just running alongside the exhaust....

 

Boy, I'd rather run no dumptube over running that thing. Nothing like melting your main rad hose, overheating, and ruining the engine.

 

i bet ur engine temp warms up pretty quick

cut the dp at the bend, and turn it pointing down u should be fine.

 

did u try runnign it like that? LOL thats too damn funny i almost shot beer through my nose.

 

Jesus Christ, that dumptube position scares me.

hahahhahahahaahah best laugh today as of yet!!

 

Many tuners report double-digit gains in HP from venting the dump tube below & past the oil pan. Otherwise you get 'dead' air (no oxygen to burn in it) filling the engine bay, which is sucked into the turbo. It can then screw with your AFR's in addition to HP numbers.

In short, 2 smallish welds and a j-bend to vent it behind the oil pan will be one of the best investments you can make, even with a budget setup.
