hey i just wanted to know if its necessary to have a dump tube connected to ur wastegate. i got a tial wastegate from my friend which came with what seems to be a flange and a gasket for the dump tube but theres not dump tub. is it possiable to just leave the opening the way it is? or will dirt and debri damage my wastegate. thanks

it won't damage the wg, however, it will dirty your engine bay up with smoot, just like from your exhaust, also, make sure there are no hoses, lines, wires, plastic parts in the path that the gasses will travel out of the wg, or they will melt i don't have a dump tube on mine, but it's angled in such a way that it just gets my block and parts of the frame really dirty :P

do you know how hot your exhaust fume will be when the wg is opened so dumptube or no dumptube? it's a no-brainer.

REAL HOT!!! Hot enough that when mine cracked the leaking gas melted and oil line and timing belt cover!! I would get one on there for the hassle it is!!!

mine was blowing on the ic also not having a dump tube didnt do much for the temps under the hood

while we're on the subject, do anybody know what's the size of a typical dumptube? I have a Delta wg and I don't have my car here.

mine opens and soots up my hood. typical wg tubs are 1.5 inches
