if you need pics, your not ready!

well actually depends if your doin the whole engine / driveline swap or just the exhaust manifold / turbo/ lower & upper intake swap. And depends if your using original ecu or aftermarket. i think there is a writeup on it somewhere.. i know ive seen it..

Its super simple. Take turbo off, take the wastegate cover off, and port like ****. Mines the size of a nickel with a bigger flapper thing welded in.
