Hate to burst your bubble, but you just bought the worste turbo kit possible. The manifolds dont always line up, and the parts are garbage. If I were you I would buy a cast manifold, new wastegateand a new turbo. Just keep the piping, intercooler and blow off valve. I dont know if I would trust that crappy wastegate to open when its supposed to. There is a member here t34mewho blew an engine up due to the same turbo kit youre about to run. I dont blame you for buying it......900$ is cheap for a turbo kit.....but its garbage.

get a cast manifold off ebay for like $100, rebuild the turbo with garret internals (a shop can do this for you...or better yet get a used turbo off ebay thats a real brand name like garret, turbonetcs, etc), and there is a turbonetics delgate for sale on homemadeturbo.com for $70 right now

worst turbo kit ever X2, how much did you pay? Around $800 for the whole thing? Yeah, youll see in a little bit how quality a $800 full turbo kit really is. Trust me, it happend to me
