Where in the heck should I route my dump tube..
 
I drive a 94 Accord F series, currently I'm running a cast manifold, Precision 3431e turbo, Turbonetics evolution wastegate, etc. How I have my piping setup runs the charge pipe through the chassis to where the windshield washing fluid reservoir normally would be with the exhaust piping directly behind it.

I'm very limited on space as far as running my dump tube goes. There are no fab shops locally that can custom make a tube, nor do I have have access to a bender/welder to mock up and fabricate one of my own. I was debating running it upwards out of the hood. Any ideas? I've been sitting on this issue for a few weeks now. I would like to get some sort of dump tube created and installed before my tune on Tuesday. A huge concern of mine is the oil feed line that sits directly in-front of the wastegate opening.

You don't want to plumb it back into the downpipe?

If not, just dumb straight down I guess.

No point in fucking up a perfectly good hood.

Keep in mind I wouldn't be going at it with a sawzall and a random drillbit I found in my garage. It would be a professional looking cut that was measured, marked, measured again, drilled, and finally cut/detailed with a dremel tool. Besides, I wasn't too keen on the hood idea, it was just suggested to me so I mentioned it.

I don't have any means of bending piping locally, heck not even sub-far from where I live. The Accord's have a very cluttered engine bay. Sure you remove a lot of clutter with wire-tucking, component deletion, and good parts/organizing sense when purchasing. But once all of said components are installed you are just as cluttered as you were before.

If you can weld you can order stainless material with bends already. You'll.need a good idea of what you need before you order though.

I have done these before, but basically I just looped it around and follow the DP down. It will need to be custom though.

I would run str8 down to the right of the exhaust side if standing at front of car. Go down right by ur inter cooler piping that's what I did,works fine and looks good. Have to have custom bent and I used hard pipe.

Here is what I was trying to explain with the upwards-hood opening route. Although I've chosen to go against this.

I like yungkhmer's idea the best. As long as I wrap it the heat transfer shouldn't be too extreme, not to mention whatever does manage to soak into the pipe will be eliminated quickly by my intercooler (seemingly large at that).

Edit: The accord pictured is a work of art for sure. PS, cruise, and a front mounted battery all retained. It also seems to be a manual conversion from all the un-connected connectors underneath the distributor.
