Hello,

I just got my new turbo motor today and I see that were the down pipe is there is another pipe that I have circled in red. Can I get rid of that pipe if I can what do I do to fix it?
Thanks

 

Looks like a dump for the wastegate. Get a closer pic from behind, i would like to see how they did it.

You got a few options:

1) run it
2) reroute it back to exhaust
3) get another back plate for the turbine housing

 

nice oil pan

 

leave it unvented as that ****** will scare ricers away and attract cops.

 

lol @ hot pinkness

 

Looks like your motor came with freebies.....

 

for a while there was a fad to take the back plate off of the turbo, and people were making downpipes that had divorced wasgegate dumps for turbos with internal wastegates. was popular for a while on 7m-gte e-bay exhaust ahaha.


it could be one of those, or it could be an aftermarket setup, or a full aftermarket turbo. can you get us a shot of the front of the turbo?


if i were you, id leave it or plumb it back into the DP. if you find its too loud on its own, you CAN run a small muffler on it.

 

Run it fa' sho. Bitch will SCREAM under boost.

 

lucky guy, he wants to get rid of the pipe... little does he know, its suppose to be there.

 

And on several high-end performance exhausts, because it actually works VERY well.

I'd also like to see more pictures just to see exactly what's going on here, but I also think it looks like a divorced wastegate pipe, in which case it would help a modified engine a lot as far as performance power. It WILL be VERY loud, and maybe not the smartest idea unless the car will not be street driven.
