i was dumping teh stock turbo wastegate into the atmo as well, but i wanted to get rid of the stock WGA and use somethat that i felt would control the boost a little better. Thats why I went with the Tial setup. I know its going to net power.

haha, it was like 5" cut from a 36" stick........

i had a UR LICP and it did not come with athe 2nd half. So i bought a 2.5" 90* bend and did a little extension with silicone to make it fit.
