That's where the waste gate goes. That piece of square tubing is my mock-up 38mm waste gate

So the gate dumps into the downpipe instead of to the atmosphere?

Ya, that's the way most people like it. Dumping to atmosphere is really loud. You can easily make it dump to atmosphere if you want, all you have to do is turn the WG 180* on the crossover side and put a block off plate over the down pipe side.

The LC-1 showed up in the mail today. Not looking forward to wiring that thing lol Still waiting on the guage pod... I'm excited to see pics of the cold side

EDIT: gonna send the G4 guage back and get the XD16 in return... just gotta fork over the difference. The G4 didnt come with wiring instructions and the XD is a one wire plug in and its done... I will be REALLY glad when all this wiring is done...

plus, im hard wiring my radar in when I do the guages also. add another wiring project to the list

How much are those PLXs? Do they offer a white face gague that will match everything else?
Yes the plxs comes with a white face.

Thanks for the pic Russell, the XD-16 guage has a one wire hookup and can be configured 16 different ways with different faces and bezels. You can even print custom guage overlays from the Innovate website....

BTW, the kit is supposed to ship tomorrow any cold side updates Kyle????
