Wastegate Setup? - ZX3TUNR - 05-28-2005
Just curious. I have seen some ppl set up there wastegates so it dumps it right into the atmosphere (tis what it looks like) then I seen some that go into the exahust? Is there a difference or does it matter?
I been trying to find some picture of how ppl have there dump pipe running but I cant find s**t. Hoping Nate or hardkore can help me.

dumping to atmosphere gives you more power and IMHO sounds SICK. it's just not "legal"
Nate had a 14b with internal wastegate so no dumping. Although you can get a flange and you can still dump the internal to atmosphere.

Sweet.
I just been doing some reading and trying to find different ways of setting up the wastegate. The lines that run from the wastegate. Where abouts do they go?

I got it all figured out. Was much easier figure it out once I got a wastegate in my hand :D
