Message	involved with making just this one was ridiculous. I guess now that a first-off is done for pattern making, the next one wouldn't take quite as long to make - but truthfully, my heart isn't into making stuff like this on a regular basis. I'd have to hook up with a fabricator to be able to make these in any quantities. Wastegates? That's been a big question on my mind until I could finally get a mockup to see where one might fit. There's room on top but the plumbing gets in the way of AC lines, battery, etc etc. I'd like the location to allow easy access to the spring diaphragm and it looks like the wastegates could be mounted upside down below the turbo, giving the outlet a direct shot into the downpipe. At this point I'm planning on a flanged pipe coming off of the collector, straight down between the frame rail and the turbine housing.
