dsm's aswell also route the bov back into the intake, why? cause thats what the computers programmed for, and when people vent it to the atom it causes prob. take a n/a car gone boost with standalone programming it shouldn't have that problem

also you mean wastegate Bov is intake side

i'd say people usually route the wastegate to the downpipe just for ease and less noise.

No offense, but that kit doesn't look very good. I mean you have a 90 degree elbow right off of the compressor side. You also have terrible ground clearence. From the pictures it looks like you lost 4-5 inches worth by going under the k-member and haveing that wierd bend in front of it.

To answer your question though, you should be fine with open wastegate.

for some reason your crossover pipe and DP look different from my budget kit.I dont have those tight angles and i have more ground clearance from what i can tell.I do agree that im willing to sacrifice $3k+ for a tad bit of clearance.Ive got ~$3500-4000 in my turbo kit and it should be good for all the hp ill ever need lol.
