bad ass roar noise when u hit full boost =)the os housing on my car doesnt have this. but when i baught the car the guy gave me one should i put it on the car what are the benefits?
You can only run a dumptube if your turbo hs an external wastegate. I'm running mine off the exhaust manifold and welded the dump tube to exit the side of my bumper.

Ehhh, its more for aesthetics and sound. Wont help with creep or get you any more power (assuming this is for an internal gate). Same difference as venting BOV to atmosphere if you are bent on drawing attention.
Don't compare this type of housing to venting a blow off valve. This item can actually HELP the performance of your car rather than HURT it.Wont help with creep or get you any more power (assuming this is for an internal gate).

You're incorrect in assuming it will not help with boost creep. This type of housing offers a restriction-free route for wastegate gases to bypass the turbine housing- even the best-flowing exhaust system on the market cannot duplicate this type of flow for the wastegate gases. If you're having trouble with creep, one of these housings combined with a properly-functioning wastegate actuator is the solution.

In addition to the creep issues dumping vs recirculating can supposedly give you more power. The theory behind it is that most recirc'd O2 housings have the wastegate passage rejoining the main exhaust stream just past the turbine at a fairly sharp angle, which is thought to cause turbulence and hamper flow through the turbo and out the exhaust. This was argued a few years ago, but I forget if there were ever any conclusive dyno sheets showing what exactly recirculating left on the table, if anything. I think this is probably true for a poorly designed O2 housing, not sure what effect it would have on some of the better made ones. Myself, I'd rather take the performance hit (maybe) of recirculating in exchange for a little more civility.
Project2G, how do you get away with that open dump out the front bumper in Cali?
Unless you have a T25 or a 14b or even a 16g, a dump will not blow open. Almost nobody knows I have dump since the only way I can spool my turbo is on the highway or long stretch of roads that don't have traffic lights. Even if I spool it, it begins to dump at 10psi.
