Waste Gates mounted...
Waste Gates mounted... its comedy I tell ya..look at 'em..
.
BTW, the ugly filter is gonna be history.
I was gonna mount gates up front fo a little better reading..but this is just the perfect spot to let the most out when needed.

I am not a subject matter expert in any respect so someone please correct me if my logic is way off.

When that baby opens you should be going over 100mph so I doubt if you will even notice not to mention that its the same gas that comes out of a tailpipe and not many of us run cats anyway so looks sweet!! bad *** set up!
Ive experienced cars have boost control problems from the wastegate being too far away from the turbine, thats the only reason I mentioned it, usually its advisable to locate the wastagate as close to the turbine as possible for better control.

What are you using for a return oil pump?
Modified STS syle universial oiling system/
What I mean is if the waste gas cant exit as smooth and as quick as possible, it can effect the way the system operates..when my gates open, I want smooth easy flow characteristics.

Understand what you are saying, just for the record I have NO issues it is working perfectly like this (if it helps)...
So did you buy a tilton pump, weldon or buy directly from STS?
Im sure yours does, I was just aiming for what seems to be "ideal". STS does not sell oiling systems only. They offer a "universial kit" which includes the turbo and a whole lotta parts, but allows you to do some fabrication pipe wise. That may work for some people, but selling the oiling system alone is not something they offer to the public as far as I understand.

The position of your gate makes me have an idea! Thanks.

If making your own oiling system...I've heard the Tilton is a good pump, along with the Weldon.
The big challenge is this:
Two 2.5 exhaust pipes going to rear
2 2" IC pipes going from rear to front
Vacumme/Boost lines to rear
Oiling lines from front to back, then back to front
Fuel line
Fuel Return
I HAVE TO RUN all this stuff in some type of "clean" manor.
So far, all that is in its perminent location is the exhaust.. lotsa work ahead and pics to come...as long as theres interest I'll share my experience.
