Default which way to point my bov

Hey guys I have a trick stage 2 and currently have it pointing up at the tranny do to the fact that when it rains in Texas it floods everything, what do you guys think?

You mean the wastegate? You will want it pointing down away from anything since hot *** exhaust will be coming out of it. The BOV is on the pipe that goes into the TB.

Gate needs to vent diwn and out. Not up
that will blow very hot exhaust gases up at your floor board or tranny.

How low is your truck?

You can always create a dump pipe off the gate or plumb back into exhaust.

No reason not to plumb it back into the main exhaust, honestly...
