did you not see the pics i put up? i thought it was pretty self explanitory... mounting the wg to the dp flange, not the dp itself. mount it over the wg opening on the exhaust housing and routing the wg exhaust directly into the dp. nice and tidy.

josh, is this your plan? i'm assuming so... or are you going to weld it to the exaust housing like in jeff's example with beau's setup?

It seems like a good idea since it hard sometimes to get a flange on the mani for the wg. Damn thick steel is hard to cut. I wonder how well it would work going from 20mm to 35mm.

ive seen it done on a few different setups on the web. and a tig welder is the tool of choice when weldinging a external wastgate to the exhaust housing.

If I have any say in it. We are not ------- up his SC61 by welding a flange to it. Josh is coming up to my shop on Thursday night and we will finish it up and put the waste gate flange on the mani. Pics to follow....stay tuned.

if you're going to run it back in to the exhasut, you should do it a little further down and make sure it's at a very slight angle, as close to parallel as possible so you don't interrupt the flow of the exhaust
