Hey all,

Im putting dual tial 44s on my S4 FC. I was going to dump the wastegates to atmosphere, back behind the firewall. I guess I have a new found concern about lighting the car on fire. Lets say I have an oil leak or the trans is leaking, is there a genuine concern for how it is dumped? I would normally route back into the downpipe, but an crunched for time.

 

Yes, definitely a concern. Route it out of the car. Also a bad idea to dump hot exhaust onto the trans.

 

so maybe dump it pointed to the ground, and out the passenger side? I doubt I’ll be shooting flames, but never know.

 

usually you'd see that with a little dump pipe on it

 

FDs shoot flames if you don't cut fuel and only cut spark. This isn't unusual for tuning a rotary. Either way it will be hot.

Nothing bad will happen with it routed outside the bay. Bad things might happen without. Only you can make the call here.

 

Just aim it away from the flammable bits, haha.
