theoretically i can take a picture of a bored out stock housing, but thats more than walking out to the gay-raj

Thats not necessary. Unlike a suprising amount of people who find their way onto the internet, I can actually put 2 and 2 together and would be able to pick out a bored stock housing rather easily with the info and pic you posted.



But, if youre bored, it may help someone else out.

Okay, I'm a little bored. Here's pics of mine before and after. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

That red tubing is for the stock setup for the internal wastegate. It still looks a lot like that, but now there's a manual boost controller in the line.



Seems to me an external wastegate would still require a pressure line to the wastegate actuator.
