    if it dumps under the engine, you will only lose horsepower by directing it into the exhaust. you will lose a few ponies because the exhaust flow will be interuppted when the wastegate opens. it would not be beneficial however, if the dumptube was somewhere near where the turbo could suck in the exhaust coming out of it. where is the inlet on your turbo compared to the dumptube?

    Care to explain to me how sucking in extremely hot air is going to help performance? Because what your saying (in my interpretation) sounds like the dumbest thing I have heard in a while!

    not only that, it would be injesting non-oxygenated air=not good for combustion.

    dump below the car/engine or plumb back into the exhaust near the end of the downpipe/cat at a shallow angle (this will prevent any large power loss).
