Love it, have a real soft spot for these, specially when I went out in Kates one! 
Well I assumed it would do too, but having done some research it seems not. Or at least any extra strain caused by this will not show itself until a long while after the turbo will have failed for other reasons.
A side effect of this is over fuelling (due to the air being measured again as it comes back out the intake of the turbo). This makes for a lovely pop on the overrun
.Actually, that does look good without the spoiler! Best looking SX I've seen in a while.
Running without a dump valve is a bit of a gamble, some say it's fine, some say it's not.
I ran mine for 2 years with a mixture of both and the turbo eventually packed up... could have well been the original turbo though. I've ran my Pulsar turbo without a dump valve and even with the 360º bearing have reverted back to the dump valve... mainly because the compressor stall is pretty quiet and can't really be heard

What game is that?

Need for Speed Shift

The game is actually very good. Maybe you're just rubbish at it though
Nothing to do with being rubbish at it, I can play it perfectly fine. That doesn't stop it being a crap game though 
I won't go in to detail in this thread and take it off topic, suffice to say that it has a broken physics model and is neither a good sim nor a good arcade game. The physics model is dire. See my comments in the various Shift threads for more detailed thoughts

NFS games are always crud IMO, too chavvy...
Anyway - car looks very tidy although I'm really not liking the alloys, I'd powder coat them in a darker colour. Exhaust looks unecessarily big - is the one you're replacing it with any more subtle?
What does de-wipered mean?

Remove the rear wiper arm and motor and normally replace with a bung.
Gives a much cleaner look.
What happens when you want to wipe your rear?
You use paper?
How inconvenient...
Seems like a bit of a silly mod to me, it can't be enough of an improvement to justify the inconvenience, especially if there's a rubber bung in it's place
