Interesting, I guess it also depends on where your intake is located in relation to the wastegate as well. Sucking up hot, CO2 rich air can definitely effect power.

In my turbo days I had short dump tubes with two different set ups. You can still hear it dumping but it makes your block filthy after a while. If I had stuck with turbo I would've extended the dump tube to release just below the oil pan for several reasons. So that's what I would suggest. Who cares about the "sound" that it makes if it's going to effect your performance. You didn't put $ into boosting your car for the sound, you did it for the horses.
