To dump or not to dump that is the ?

[IJ.]

I prefer the stealth approach.

You can bet the one time you hit it hard and it opens is the time when you haven't seen the cop or an EPA guy has the test stand set up and pings you for noise!

Actually, I've opened it up right next to the local police without a problem. Of course, I'm an old guy, and I'm not driving a honda, which helps a lot where I live. Now if I were asian, driving a honda with a fart can on it, and obeying all the rules of the road, I'd get pulled over and hassled about my gang affiliations here... happens to my buddies all the time, poor bastards.

Too their credit, one of the local police officers who was very well liked in the community was killed by street racers two years ago. They ran a red light and t-boned the drivers side door of his cruiser while he was on duty, then jumped from the wreck into another car and fled the scene. They were caught, of course, but I can see why the local police are grumbly.

No way - everyone loves the dump, despite their age, or lack thereof. 16yo kids love it, and old geezers like me love it.

And no bashing my AC! I'm nice and comfy in the car with the windows rolled up because of it, thank you very much.

some1 else can probably explain this better, but it vents exhaust gases that flow through the waste gate straight to the atmosphere instead of routing them back into the exhaust system

 

[GrimJack]

Thereby dropping the turbulence in your exhaust, and making more power. Proven on the dyno here locally.

Just dump it, cuz youll know if your WG diaphragm tears and fails to open under boost. if your WG fails and sticks open or never opens, and its recirculated, youlll never know untill its too late.

i see. ill try it i guess

I would start out with an open dump. Then when all the noise gets old, you can always have it rerouted.

hey hey!!

I have a/c too.. i enjoy not having a huge sweat spot on my back when getting out of the car.

And i do not like dumping btw

On my new set up, IF I dump into the atmosphere, it's dumping WAY back... Reason: on my last set up, I couldnt barely hear the turbo spool and even BARELIER heard my exhaust when I was at WOT... That dump tube was so g'damn loud, it was almost annoying... I wanna hear my turbo spool, hear that super sonic whine when she's workin her ass off to give me power... I wanna hear that exhaust note, that nasty grumbling throaty sound...

But that's just me...

IMO, it depends on what you are doing with the car. Many racetracks and sanctioning bodies have noise regulations that an open dump would not comply with. Also, for street cars, a small turbo that can make wastegate boost at the drop of a hat would get really rediculous in short order. A bigger turbo that doesn't have to meet any particular regulations would leave it up to the owners preference.

It is simple. If you have a stock turbo, get a DDP from BIC performance. If you have an external gate, you probably wouldn't be asking...
