Yes sir. 2 Turbosmart 45mm hypergates (pre 2011 models). I'd run 2 60's but i didn't want to pony up almost $1k for them. You can never have too much wastegate.
First pic is of the passenger side. Wastegate will sit next to the turbo. Second pic is of the driver side. Wastegate will sit at the end of the collector.

Thanks guys.
Sorting out my spark plug wires tonight. Going to finish up the manifolds tomorrow and maybe start bolting them on. Picked up more gas tonight so hopefully i'll be lighting up the torch on Thursday. Going to try to get a bunch of stuff knocked out over the weekend.

Both passenger and driver side. I port on the head flange and the turbine inlet so it's a little smoother transition. 1.5 sch pipe is 1.6 id which is basically 1.75 od regular tube. Head ports on the flanges I have are 1.5 so I had to open them up a little. 2" schedule pipe is like 2.3 which is a lot bigger than divided t4 ports so there was a lot of work there too. I'll post some pics later today.

Been pretty busy with my day job, but I have managed to get a bit of work done. Fired it up today to test the hot pipes and make sure oil pressure/drain were good. Also wanted to start up and see it spin. Enjoy!
