I'd like to see a 3" dp on that. Gonna have to get creative with the mounting of the waste gate with a downpipe in there too.

Oh Aaron. I don't know where. I hate long Wastegate tubes like Hotrex's and #2, #1 is awkward but will work, but your WG will see alot of heat, and may lead to premature Diaphram failure, #3 is just riduculus and would be tight with any DP.

As for 3", i don't expect anyless. I know you can do it man, just what option is best?

I'm assuming that you are just going to buy a 5bolt flange and make your dp off of that. Maybe you can cut a hole in the flange where the internal gate passage was a come straight off of that. After it goes through the WG, it runs through a tube straight down , then turns back to meet up with the DP near the bottom of the block. Like running an internal gate, but using your external one. Might have to bore out the passage a little. Just a thought. Goodluck.

wow dude, that mani is sex. ------- gorgeous. you got mad skills at that. you wanna build me one? oh, i have no clue where you are going to mount that ----, it looks easier to run a internal with that but i don't know much about the turbos themselves so i can't really be trusted with my info. good job though.
