Just wondering, why are you running the wastegate externally?

I dont like the idea of recirc'd wastegates, never did. It's only open at full boost and I don't see the benefit. I don't EVER want any boost creep issues. If I decide to run a smaller turbine in the future or anything I just don't want it. Rather have the added available exhaust volume.

MY kit exactly would be around 8k because I upgraded to SS headers and I also opted for a trial gate and bov dude to familiarity. Out of the box the kit will be $7200-$7500 and it's a single.



Yea idk when I can even install because I just started classes again this week and I work two jobs. Might be a little bit.

Have you done the installation? Up and running yet?


I'm swamped with school right now (RN program) and still waiting on a few small things to come in such as a resovoir, upper rad pipe, BAP and slimline fan. Once I have every single little part I need here I will begin installation.

Are these things besides the BAP that aren't included in the kit? Is he still shipping these parts to you or are you buying these on top of the kit? seems kind of odd to buy a 8K turbo kit and not have everything needed for the install like a slim fan, radiator hose, or reservoir which the kit would be designed around.

Everything other than the BAP is included. The guy I was buying the threaded inserts for the caps sold his patent. So I've been trying to source it from somewhere else. The other parts he wanted to hold and ship all at once. Kit's not quite 8k yet though. Cross our fingers on the turbo choice though.
