question about my turbo
hey guys so i have an 04 evo 8 with an fp green turbo so my turbo is mounted to my exhaust manifold and is connected to my air intake but on the other sude is my downpipe the thing js its not connected to my exhaust pipe or connected to anything its just a small pipe facing down and thats it so my question is why would my turbo have this isnt it supposed to be connected to my exhaust also id like to mention i have exhaust coming out of the tail pipe where it should be coming out and also the turbo is working because you can hear it spooling up as i drive
You have an external 02 dump. It's fine. Some people have them coming out the hood, others have them pointing down.
You can replace it if you want. Exhaust air only comes out of that small tube when you are in boost and the wastegate opens.

my problem with it is the downpipe sites right on my radiator and it just started pissing coolant right where the pipe touches the radiator my guess it its melting a hole in my radiator so i dont knkw what my best bet it maybe change it to face up.
If facing up, what will you do when it's raining? And during car washes?
