So, now that I have a working WG, I am down to only two issues.

#1, I have an exhaust leak and I'm thinking it is the connection between the 2.5 to 3" pipe. I will talk with Nameless to see if I need a special gasket for this connection.

#2, My overpipe is hitting the frame. (See below pics). Next step is to disconnect the turbo discharge pipe and try and move it higher which will result in the overpipe connecting higher to it and probably clearing the frame completely. It is not hitting it all the time, but in high vibration situations, it hits. As a last resort, I may go and get that Turbo discharge pipe made from 3" pipe and routed to avoid the overpipe issue.

Remember this are the trial and errors you go through when DIY the install. If this was done by a shop, it would have been fixed already because of the tools and time they have in their hands. I have to squeeze time between 12 hours of work, wife and kid.
