Ok so my GTX3582R didn't have a boost nipple for the wastegate solenoid. My brother (who thinks he is handy) is recommending against tapping the housing and wants to tap into the jpipe (or whatever you call it, the first bend off the turbo hotside). Do you guys see any problem with not coming directly off the housing, the housing doesn't seem to have a reinforced spot for it?

Just put it where its ment to go. Use your old nipple . 274f8b79cea43f40648a6ad6ad59ec09.jpg

Oh yeah remove the front cover before doing this.

Edit. What a dick I quoted myself.

Edited by Bizkets is fat?

Yeah thanks I'll look into it. My brother can weld on a bung too but a nipple in the elbow silicone joiner may be easier.

I'm worried about weakening the front housing as there is no thick spot to mount it.

Ummm I think we need a sarcasm font. :)

Hey can I put the turbo on without taking the exhaust manifold off or without disassembling the turbo. It looks too tight to me
