No, I got it....but then I noticed there was no muffler for the regular (non wastegate) exhaust!

what i meant was that the wastegate gases are routed to the gas tank (which is full of flammable gas) in order to quiet them. the mixture of hot exhaust gas and gasoline could result in a large explosion. which would be funny because that design is retarded. but none of that matters anymore because no one got my joke. which would make me not funny. so i'll be under my rock if any one has any questions.

WOW! that picture is unbelievable and I have to keep going back because I can't believe how screwed up that is! That's real, right?
Whats up with that air filter back there, um are you going to have to replace it twice a day and not drive the car when it's raining? Sometimes I wonder if its better to think that we are looking at the front end of the car instead of the back! I mean come on that is the back, right?

Best quote yet...and I'm not finished reading:

Also, headers have a hard enough time not leaking with no pressure in the exhaust system, let alone the backpressure produced by a turbocharger.
Good ole' 'merican quality!!!

Thumbs up

I especially like putting the BOV waaaaaayyyyyy back there like 2" from the compressor outlet. That way all that nice instant backpressure from lifting the throttle has to go allllll the way back there to open the valve... then the boost has to go allllllll the way back up again to reach the throttle body. Beeeyootiful.
