Where is your wastegate dumping?
i am putting my setup together and i have a choice (it seems) to dump towards the motor or away from it.
where are your wastegates pointed, and are you using a dump pipe?
Thanks for the info.

Yes you should use a dump pipe. I had mine installed without one and it was facing the tranny/engine. I would get a lot of exhaust in the car when the wastegate opened.
Put a dump tube on it and direct it away from the motor and tranny.

If you don't like getting pulled over, you should dump it into your DP. Venting to the atmosphere can be anoying as hell after a while. Fun at fist but defening in the end

I beg you, please, plumb it into the downpipe. Open atomosphere dumps are so ******* loud that, especially on rotaries, that I'm absolutely convinced it gives our 7s a bad rap. 99.9% of the population would not want to hear such an offensive sound. Open dumps do not help our cause.

ok cool, but does your wastegate have the opening for the dump pipe facing away from the motor or towards it?

P.S. i have to say that my friends open wastegate on his supra is pretty nasty...though an inline 6 is gonna sound better than a rotary most of the time....and passing people on 2 lane roads pushin about 450hp on 93 octane scares the bejesus out of them.

I personally would route it into the downpipe if I had to do it again in a street/strip car. If you do end up venting to the atmosphere you may want to consider dumping away from the engine bay to reduce any further heat, and or soot. .02

There is a third alternative you-all have overlooked.
Dumping back into the DP can cause a loss of power. Depending on the design, 10-30HP from what different tuners told me.
So you dump it to atmosphere but through a small ATV or motocycle muffler.

Mine is dumped to atmosphere, toward the ground. Loud it certainly is, but I've had guys I raced actually miss shifts because it scared the **** out of them.
