DIY wastegate plug from Edge
Pull off the intake pipe going to the turbo so you can get access to the wastegate.
____________________________
Loosen the two 10mm nuts on the backside of the wastegate housing (you don't have to remove them, just back them off a couple turns)
____________________________
Use a screw driver or small pry bar and gently pry the wastegate away from the compressor housing.
____________________________
Becareful not toloose the rubber grommet that seals the wastegate line to the compressor housing!
___________________________
With pair of channel locks squeeze the plug into the wastegate line.
___________________________
Line up the wastegate line with the compressor housing and push back into place (It is a pretty good fight to get it lined up and in place) If lined up correctly it shouldn't take much force to get it back in. Then tighten down the two 10mm nuts on the backside.
___________________________
Drill a 1/32 hole in the wastegate line after the sealing flange through both sides of the tube.
___________________________
Install intake piping and your done!!!

RE: alright ill ask again
hey cool man thanks alot...but i dont have that plug, i have a 90 degree plug, for the rubber line, so im thinkin i can make something work, maybe ill just take the waste gate off completely, haha...oh yea, whats the purpose in drilling the hole? so the air goes out the holes instead of bui9lding the pressure for the waste gate ?

Just call up edge and see if you can get one of those plugs. Mine came with the edge comp box. Mayfair got his compbox a not to long ago and his didn't come with it so I'm not sure if edge quit making them or not. You'll still want to plug that line so you don't have a big leak if you do drill it out.
