so i haven't had a update in a while, haven't had much time to work on the car, but a little update, i finnaly got the exhaust manifold to fit, the manifold didn't fit correctly so we had the use a half inch bit and make the holes bigger, mounted the turbo on to test fit, and the downpipe, only problem is i didn't measure my hks wastegate for clereance so i have to get the flange rewelded, so there is alot of coolent lines that are no longer needed when going single, where do you purchase the caps, that cap then off????and one more thing, in the last picture of the turbo housing, n e one have n e idea what that hole is for????

If the hole on the comp housing is threaded Id say its probably so you can provide the wastegate with a boost/psi reference.

Then I would get a fitting that threads in there and use that as your boost reference to the wastegate.

Looks great man, and the turbo looks scary enough to blow the welds off that manifold
I hope everything works out!
