Hey guys, I supposedly picked up this "FMAX" manifold (log style) and I need to have a hole cut for an external wastegate. I will be going with TIAL wastegate.

My buddy works at a place that can cut the hole and weld the flange on it (which I wont have for a couple of days) and I need to know the best place to have the hole cut. In the very center of the manifold there is a thin piece of steel that divides the 4 runners. Can someone maybe save the picture and paint in a circle the best spot to have it drilled?

Thanks,
Kevin

well i believe that the type of car it is going in will dictate the best spot for the wastegate try to put it as close to the turbo as posible space permitting of course.

indeed, it really depends on which way the turbo is sitting. compressor on driverside or passenger side.

The compressor will be on the passenger side

then put the wastegate on the driverside, on runners 1 & 2 if you can..

Prefabbed turbokits like the DRAG and Revhard have the compressor on the passenger side. Runners 1 and 2 as in the runners that are on the drive side correct?

Yup, that looks good, maybe just a bit more over..
