The exhaust has to almost completely reverse direction to go out the wastegate. This is why a Full-Rice twin 44mm wastegate manifold for a K-series w/ GT40 creeps from 10 psi wastegate to ~15 psi, and why something correctly designed will hold the same turbo rock steady at 10 psi off of a single 44mm gate.

If you don't experience boost creep at lower boost, don't worry about it.

I have the 15psi spring in the WG, so it won't be any lower than that.

Yes, the firewall was swapped here. I understand what you're saying about the lights, but I still like these ones. They don't have 87 reflectors in them, the housings are black (a theme I tend to have), and it makes the front of the car look different than the standard headlights with orange blinkers.

No, my WG setting is nig. Once everything is smooth on the nig setting, we'll set it up for nog.
