I have a 3' downpipe coming from my turbo, and a turbonetics wastegate with two flanges, one to connect the manifold & one for the dumptube i believe. I dont have a dump tube so is it ok if i can leave it open?


also on my oil feed adapter on top of my turbo i dont have the oval'ish adapter that mounts into the threads, its just a NPT to AN adapter. Is there support to be a ovalish bracket that goes over it? or is it fine to just run the oil line on it?

here's a pic of how it looks..

no.....

you will prolly need a restrictor in there.....

a honda fuel rail banjo will thread in there nicely and look pretty good.... splice it in with some fuel injection hose 5/16 should work and put a restrictor inline......


you will need the dump tube like mentioned before because it will give you very noticable negative performance......

Can someone explain to me how a dump tube effects your performance, other than it helps route the dumped exhaust else where, so you don't have a huge fireball shot into your engine bay? :thinking:

Hot exhaust being sucked up by the turbo.

definitely need a dump tube. there is a thread on evans tuning about it. some cars gained over 40whp from adding one.

no restrictor needed on that turbo with a -3

as for the dump tube, you only need one to keep your engine bay sane. an engine bay covered in carbon is impossible to clean up lol.

I've got mine ran back into my DP, but i think I want a new DP and a Dump ran along side it until under the car.
