Wastegate can go to open air as a dump, tube. It will be louder once the wastegate opens and lets air pass through there. However, the "proper" set-up IMO would be to have the wastegate air go into the downpipe.

Might be a dumb question, but is the VSS near that "cooler" thing you speak of? If so, I would imagine it has to do with the Power steering. Some cars (prelude VSS - knowledge came from my doing my swap) have a power steering assist type thing to slow the flow of the P/S fluid at higher speeds etc or something like that. Looks like those lines are looped, just as they are in my H22 swap. Just a guess.

That is a picture of the VSS. Remember, mine is cable. :P

Well, since I don't have power steering... It doesn't help me at all. Hah. Oh well. Thanks for the info!


My downpipe is smashed anyways... I wonder how expensive it will be to get my downpipe/dumptube built... :/
