ORIGINAL: woligator

there is a small rubber line that go from the turbine housing to a little pot on ur turbo,this is the wastegate actuator,the line is about 8' long u cant miss it,just unplug the actuator side and plug it whit a screw
so this way ull be able to return to stock if u want to
I don't know if you want to TOTALLY close it up.

When I got my Edge, it came with a new fitting to screw into that port that now has a small hole in it instead of the about 1/4" hole that was in there.

The autos are a metal line wastegateso the boost elbow won't work on those turbos. Edge has a bress plug you put in the line, you might wanna give them a call. If you have a manual you will have a rubber hose running to the wastegate so you can use the elbow on it
