Re: Quick Dump tube question
you can get away with using some half *** stuff for the dump tube because is only gets hot when it's dumping and it cools pretty fast. Plus it usually will only get hot close to the openin of the gate, or where ever there is a bend in the pipe. Just get some 1 1/2" pipe from advance auto or something. Works mint.

You definately would want the air warmer for speed so it expels faster. However it doesnt really make much of a difference for a small 4 cyl turbo set up. Use whatever you have around, either 1.5 or 1 5/8" fits best.
