Can I get away with putting the wastegate on the hotside pipe coming from the passenger side bank? Im concerned with fitment near the merge area.

Best location is on or after the merge. If u have to run a bit of pipe to get the gate in a better area and keep the incoming exh tote gate in a ideal location then so be it

I realize that its the best location, but with IC piping coming through that area, Im not left with much room to put the gate even if I remote mounted it. Ive see kits with the gate of the crossover like this...

If he can do it, why cant I? Just asking.

Can you? Yes, is it smart? Not really. It can work bu you run a greater risk of having boost creep/control issues. I always think about gate location as I'm building the kit that way it can be setup to not worry about that aspect

So I havent been doing much updating, I got sick once the weather changed and I have just been trying to get as much done with the time I have. Here is where I'm at.































I'm currently on the wiring. I got everything in the bay and I think I'm going to have Denmah (Matt) wire it up for me.

I'm just waiting on getting my sumped stock tank back then wire in the pump. Then its just a bunch of little BS things.

Ill have to get my 8.8 in the rear, before I can have a DS made too.

I may have missed it, how are you running the engine? MS3?
