There’s a decent bit of room from the slave cylinder. Def enough room for the DP and wg placement, it’s going to be open dump also. Fans are remounted to the front, might run an extra but that’s kind of still in the air. I'll talk to my boy and see what’s up and where he’s at in a day or two, get some pics and hopefully answer some of your questions visually.

It's not hard to put a wastegate all you have to do is cut a hole and weld the flange. But looks real good is your friend charging you? He should do a couple more and sell them on here. That wouldn't be a bad idea.

DONT do an elbow into the wastegate. You want it as free flowing as possible

Looks good! Looks like an old TT design meets Boost Flow.

Yea I can see somewhat of a resemblance.
Also I talked to my buddy today, he's almost done with the jig to weld it all then he'll add the wastegate and shoot me some pics.

When is someone gonna make a manifold that puts the compressor inlet sticking out of the hood facing forwards! Of course you would have to cut your hood up but who cares? lol It would look sick with a 4" exhaust stack coming off of the hotside swept backwards toward the out edge of the car...

That would look insane, for a drag car, with a trailer, lol.
