not the way its pictured, you ll need a turbo and an engine to spin the turbo. LOL

I think the only way you will find out is to try it. Its a function of the engine producing so much exhuast that the turbo and waistgate combined can not flow enough exhuast for the desired boost level. Most of the time I ve encountered boost creep problems, it was waistgate set up and control issue however.

Should be ok. What you have pictured is not ideal, but would work for most. Engine size, turbo size, lowest boost level you want to maintain, and a few other factors will decide if it will not work properly.

Why is that not ideal?

It's supposed to be angled toward the incoming exhaust before it hit's the turbo. Being straight up like that with a "long" curvy pipe is not as good as "optimum" but with that large of a WG, it should still work okay for you!

thanks guys this is a 48mm progate and will be partnered with a S80/t6 and 402. Would also like it to hold 7 or 8 psi till funds permit stronger stuff out back
