I want the one hump at the radiator and then smooth to the body like above.. cuz I want to paint on a Black bird centered on it
Hope this helps.
BTW, wouldn't worry about "changing the topic". Heaven forbid useful info is passed here vs stupid comments from haters and experts that have probably never seen an STS car in person

thanks, i noticed a port on the waste gate also, not the pressure one,but on the side.
some pics are left open but some have a valve with a wire on it atached to it,

the port on the side (opening closest to the bolts that hold the top on) is for your boost reference. If you have an intercooler, you should run a vacume line from the wastegate to an intake vacume source. If not, then from the outlet on the compressor housing to the side of the wastegate.
The top port is for a boost controller.

maybe some pics of install would help.
