If at all possible I'd find a way to connect the wastegate dump to the downpipe smoother... but it does look pretty tight in there. My WRX is getting an atmospheric wastegate dump  Not like I have any cats anyway.

He can still put in a better turn for it but it complicates things a little. Yeah, atmospheric is good stuff. Car sounds all tame until the wastegate opens then it sounds like a very open exhaust.

My biggest worry is to get this beyotch to pass saftey & emissions, after that I can find a fairly mod friendly place over the next year or there is a chance I may buy a home in a different county that does only saftey inspections 
I'd be all for an atmosphere dump, my DP would be of a much better design!
All I have to do now is clean up my half a$$ed base tune from Modular Depot and I'm set.

What does the saftey inspection entail? How is the operator to know that your system is 'safe' (we know it is, but how does he?) just curious

It'd basicly be dependant on if it is emissions compliant or not. I know people who've done swaps in their hon-duh, and they just needed to meet the emission output levels their stock engine would put out. Saftey is the basic crap like seat belts, brakes, turn signals, ect.

OK, I have decided to change the routing on my downpipe. I have what I need on-hand, so no real biggie. I will be loosing the 90* bend that routes around the subframe and will be replacing it with 2 45's that will route it through the subframe and under the crossover pipe. That will make it possible to retain the wastegate dump, even though I'd like an atmosphere dump to give it a meaner sound...  I'll be doing this at night, during the week..... so wish me luck 
Would it be a better design to have the wastegate dump into the DP, angled to flow with the flow of exhaust? Right now it shoots into the path, rather than with it.

Are both cylinder banks feeding the turbo? I dunno why, but I can't seem to picture the uppiping.

You want the wastegate to enter the downpipe at the shallowest angle possible... so that would be a yes to that question.
You also want it to join as far back as possible.

Yes, this pic was from the passanger side facing towards the drivers side. You can see the rear bank trail off to the left along with the downpipe. You can also see the front bank come down and merge with the rear bank.

Cool, thanks for the input! I might just vent to atmosphere to make it easier.... and sound cooler
