Great project Chewy & my only problem I have is the wierd-ass external w/gate set up. I mean wtf is that about? How the hell does it work coming off the turbo hotside It should be plumbed from off of the zorst manifold! Are you able to explain the reason this is set up like this cause it's doing my head in It's almost like the modifier was trying to replicate workings of an internal wastegate? Why would you wantbthe gate coming off the snail shell? I just don't get it at all.......

i dont really see the issue.. its still on the exhaust manifold side. as it is still relieving the pressure for the turbo. yes it is a little bit up the turbin housing but it still should work fin in my eyes...
