External gate question

[Abomb]

Spamming the board a bit lately but new question so new thread.

 

The car came with an external gate port on the bottom of the header. Is there a reason it’s in such a weird spot instead of on the uppipe? I’m debating buying an nzkw header, getting the wastegate put on the uppipe and selling the factory unit w/ the grimmspeed cross pipe since I have to pull the header off anyways to do my engine mounts.

Ah gotcha, so no fitment issues or anything with having it on the uppipe to shorten the distance for the vacuum lines and the distance from wastegate to downpipe?

That's where it normally goes. It's definitely tight in there though... especially with the steering column... so make sure you get a good fabricator on to it.

Yeah I’m going to use the same place that put my egt and o2 bungs in. They are also going to be the ones tuning the car. I’m thinking I’ll bring in the turbo, wastegate and header so they can handle it all exactly with the exact parts I’ll be using
