Anyone running an 02 dump out there hood? Would like to do it but it's a daily driven car don't know about rain water getting in it.

 

If it is made with stainless material the rain is not gonna hurt it.

 

But as far as rain water going down it when it's parked

 

I've had mine for about 2 weeks and the water just shoots out with one nice rev.

 

Google search is amazing.

Nice thanks for the info guys.

 

I could see it being a problem if the car is parked while it's pouring, but a little boost to open the wastegate should clear it all out once you're driving. Plus the heat would probably burn off any excess water that might not have gotten out the first time, I would imagine.

 

water = corrosion which would be my main concern.

 

If it's stainless it's not gonna corrode easily. As long as the car doesn't sit in the rain for extended periods of time I don't think it will hurt amything.

 

Do it. I'm just gonna say though, when people say it's loud, it's loud!! When I saw videos online I was like "man that's not too bad". After I installed it I went on the first test drive, I swear I jumped when it opened. It's ridiculous

 

It's true it is LOUD! Mine isn't a hood dump but the first time it opened I was shocked at how loud it was. I'm use to it now though.

 

Its not just the housing, but the flapper and the turbo flange as well that will be exposed to water.

 

If you park the in the garage over night or covered, it'll be okay. A little bit of rain won't kill anything, but you don't want to leave it in a storm either...

 

Alright I guess the next question is are there any companies that make them or is it going to have to be a custom fab thing.

 

Extremepsi.com sells one by jmfab.
