Again improving on things and due to its smaller size, we decided to reposition the superior Tial wastegate on an angle (rather then straight up like the previous design) so that the wastegate could actually be serviceable. Crazy idea, I know, but I felt I might want to have actual access to it again in the future.



Another crazy idea was to use only 1 cat. Correction, cat simulant. This one's already been hollowed out as well. It's in there with flanges to give the impression of a normal, removable, replaceable cat for any possible AirCare/inspection purposes that could possibly arise.


And after about 30 hours straight or so of being trapped and having to work on the very vehicle to get us home, my friend said, let's finish it off since we have all the equipment out and the car in the air. We were gonna leave it for another day, but decided to finish the project off and make the open (BYAA!) dump pipe.


But on the way home, double checked the wastgate works, and the open dump even scared ME the first time! Let alone the people around me...

The biggest pain was that the braiding on the oil return line was fraid. I had to do an oil line haircut mod just to stop from being stabbed in the fingers trying to get it back on. I'm surprise I still have fingerprints left.
