wtf does the dump tube do? i have a drag kit and was wondering if the dump tube is way too short? should i buy a pipe and just direct the exhaust fumes under the car instead of the engine bay?

i probably need a bigger radiator too.

............I think the dump tube is used for turning up the boost....
or maybe it controls the heat??

if its an integra chasis and your a/c is off and you still feel hot air coming out the vent, push the recycle air button.
