We had to crush the 4" to get it to fit so no beuno on a 5" without going under all the crossmembers (no ground clearance). I like the idea of being able to somewhat limit power with the cutout closed though. Who makes a 66" Largest one tial or jgs make is a 60...

Theres not really a good spot for another gate without going over the top of the engine

I know you are restricted with space, but I always wondered if it would make a difference if the air entered the wastegate in a straight shot. They are suggested to be installed that way. When I made my crossover, I put 2 45's in it instead of a 90 so I could install the wastegate there. It will be a straight shot in, and straight out as it will tie into the exhaust when it comes out of the gate. It will merge into the bottom of the 4" exhaust pipe so it won't be perfectly straight.

For some reason I think that 5" DP is going to affect global warming. Do you think that fender well is going to survive? Nice work.

This is what I thought as soon as I saw the wheel well pic. My turbo/manifold is 3" away and I had to get a new plastic inner fender and put a piece of aluminum on it for a heat shield.
