help with wg placement I would like to know if you guys have ran into not controlling boost because the wg was not put in the rite place. I am running out of room and I am not sure if the 44mm gates will hold it at 5 or 10psi if they are mounted between the rear two runners on my manifolds. It is a 5.3 on E85 with twin 66's. The purple circle in the second pic is where I can mount them without much pain. Thanks for the input

I always put mine as close as possiable to the turbo but if there's not room it should work good anywhere you put it I've had some turbo kits with the wg 3ft away from the turbo and no problems.
Id squeeze in a pipe at the best angle you can right before the turbo flange and run the pipe to where you have room. The gate will still be effective 1ft away, just need the angle decent.
or on the housing like mentioned.

Cut a hole in the header just under the turbo inlet flange and route the tube the where you need it and stick a gate on it.
If you want to hold down to 5 PSI buy a gate with a 3.5 PSI spring.
You can always turn it up.
Tail has gates with 3.5 springs.
