Which is a better plan. As usual, Im fighting parts that dont fit. I bolted on the Tial WG and it doesnt come close to lining up to the pipe that runs to the DP. Is there any difference venting to atmosphere or back to the exhaust?
If the gate is undersized you'll likely get boost creep no matter what unfortunately.
True, I think I am having that issue right now.
Also, as for dumped versus not, where is your WG located and what is your planned exhaust? With my WG dumped underneath on the passenger side and my open exhaust I cannot hear it.
I would also think that you could pick up a bit of power if you have a dumped WG instead of routing it into the dowpipe.
FWIW, I can hear my turbo spooling up very clearly (whistling noise).

I run mine back into the exhaust, I run mine in at an angle that "May" actually enhance exhaust flow. I'd rather listen to the 70,000rpm turbo over a dumped Wastegate.

What exhaust do you run on your car Ryan?

Thats what Im thinkin'. When the WG opens, it would seem like a big exhaust leak coming from a 1.5" pipe. On my kit, it plumbs back in at a 90* to the DP though Im going to fix it and see what it does.
My exhaust Runs like this, the down pipe comes out on the drivers side of the engine at the rear, then goes just behind the transmission and crosses over to meet up with the normal catback. The wastegate is on the passenger's side comes out facing down then turns straight back. It then merges with the rest of the exhaust system at a angle that when the wastegate opens, its flow creates an eductor type of suction on the down pipe. Now, IN THEORY, this may enhance total system flow but its untested definatively.

Hmm, interesting. What diameter is your WG pipe that meets up with the normal exhaust? Maybe I will try something like this

Wastegate: Dump to atmosphere or back to exhaust? 
Im going to fix it and see what it does.
