Well it's been a long time but I just haven't been able to work on the car.

Latest updates on the install is the completion of the dump pipe including install of a 3" hi Flow cat. Also the external wastegate has also been connected to the dump pipe.

Specs of piping is all 3" mandrel bent from the turbo to the cat. High Temp black exhaust paint has been applied to the piping as well.

So at the moment it is being run as NA as I yet have to get it tuned.
Basically this will happen when I get back in approx 2.5 months.

With the new headers and everything the car is running much much better.

Anyway here are some pics.

Looks great sir. :D What brand and size Wastegate did you go with? Also I see you have the oil feed line hooked up, where did you pick for your pressure source?

Pressure source was where the existing oil pressure sensor was. Basically a T piece was attached to the outlet so I can reconnect the oil pressure sensor. The oil feed line connected to the other outlet on the T piece.

The wastegate is a 35mm Tial wastegate.

Thats exactly where I was going to get my oil pressure source from, so thats what I wanted to hear. :) I am assuming you just welded a bung to the oil pan for the drain.

Great choice on the wastegate, Tial is good stuff.

that's right
i got a bung welded & tapped at the highest point on the sump & again just put in a 45 deg fitting.
