I love the sound of my HKS 50mm going to atom. Its music to my ears. But then again, I like the sound of my old 12a peripheral port motor, just running a header. Believe it or not, but the peripheral engine was even louder than a open wastegate.

My car is fine. I drive it every single day. That was during a tune a few months ago. It does not shoot flames like that anymore.. you guys are putting to much thought into something that has been taken care of months ago.

If you have an open gate, you get flames in two places, another benefit.

You typically need a dumb tube angled to route them down. I've seen numerous setups where they installer opted to just leave the WG as-is, usually pointing directly at the motor mount. As you can imagine, the motor mount was usually fried

I'd keep my dumb tube in my pants if I were you.
