Just a stupid question I probably missed it somewhere and no I didn't search.
 
[EDIT] a Exhaust dump tube does not dump excess boost, it directs excess exhaust gases away from the turbine (bypassing it) but instead of the exhausts bypassing the turbine and re-entering the downpipe it dumps it into the atmosphere in order to control boost. It's loud as fcuk.



Wtf is up with these newbies? They know they should search they mention they DIDNT search (and ive seen a few others who have done the same thing). The site should have some probation period for people like this. Or make it so that the poster cannot post until a mod approves the post (for newbies ~30+ day period) or the mod can approve the account to have no probation.. If I were a mod I woulda banned or suspended your ass for being so ignorant.

Sorry but I am getting tired of these useless posts that could EASILY have been answered if the poster simply searched. (Im sure the rest of you are to)

Thanks for the space.

Thats what I said wasn't it? an 02 dump has a tube that runs from your internal wastegate to the atmosphere.

>An o2 dump is an o2 housing that dumps it's excess boost from the wastegate >into the atmosphere instead of back into the downpipe.

Thats what you said, you said it dumps it's excess boost from the wastegate. You have it slightly mixed with the blow off valve.

To the poser (oops I mean poster): If your not a newb why are you asking newb questions. And NOT using the search function?? Newb.

Ah.... I see.... I meant excess pressure in the exhaust manifold...which in turn creates pressure in the intake side of things (boost) I definately know the difference between a BOV and a wastegate. ;)

Cool, it was obvious that you knew, but used the wrong term. Which could confuse an N/T newbie ;)

Redmachine, it all goes to the same place when I click "read new posts." Maybe you will use the SEARCH button next time. In case you don't know where that is, it's in the top left corner. Right under the sponsors.
