Default where should i route my dumptube? ***pics***

should i run it straight into the dp as shown if pic #1 (easier to fab) OR
should i run it down stream a bit with a pipe bending downward off the wg and joining back into the dp just before the oil pan as shown in pic #2 (more work better flow?)
i need to figure this out real soon as i plan on welding up the dp this weekend.

more pics once everything is done.

i think it'd be kind of a bitch to get it hooked into the dump, but that'd be the cleanest way to route it. I'd really be interested to see the rest of the set up.....

i'm going to go with option #2 i think as it will flow better. look for pics in the next week or so of my new setup.

Putting it straight into the dp would hurt flow a good bit. Itd be a bitch but putting it downstream would be alot better.

Now lets see the rest of the setup

I would go with option #2. The first choice is going to hurt flow because it's going straight to the downpipe at 90 degress but I'm sure you know what your doing.

i agree that dumping it in at a 90 angle wouldn't be the best way to do it, but it would eliminate a lot of the clutter in that area....I think that either option is a good one, but as far as performance is concerned, go w/ the second option!

Option 3. Point it towards where your hand is and cut that tab off.

I vote for option 2.

Isn't that tab where the radiator sits though?

i went with option 2. more work (and more money), better flow. You would probably benefit from a small flex section too. heres the one i did (first piping i ever did), its not the same setup, but u get the idea.










good luck with it

i don't really have the room for a flex section, i want to keep it short, joining as it goes under the oil pan. it shouldn't be that difficult.

option 3 won't work as that tab holds my rad up!

i read on H-T that routing your dumptube into your exhaust may create boost creep. is this true? or does it just depend on what wastegate and manifold you're running?

thats a little close to your radiator isnt it?

the second picture looks like it'll work a lot better then you can throw it back into the DP underneath the oilpan.

Going on what im hearing from the tuners.....

just run it below the oil pan and cut it off for an open dump..you'll gain the most ponies this way.

then again its not what you asked for, just throwing it out there. unless this is an emissions based question or something.

i say just route it south of the oil pan and leave it open element.
