spent the weekend fine tuning some things. One problem area is figuring out how to mount the waste gate control. Where I had it mounted in the pictures, it puts bend down to where it hooks up to the waste gate I think over time something will probably break. So, I was able to rotate the compressor housing down a little bit more after filing off some on the sqare bump(?) that's on what used to be the top side of the outlet tube. I filed it down some and was able to rotate the housing a little bit more to make more room for the mount for the waste gate controller. I also moved the mounting holes almost a .5in and was able to trim about .5in off of the bottom of the mount. So, altogether I was able to drop down the mounting braket maybe .5in. This put the other end of the rod at the middle of the waste gate arm. I also bent the rod a little bit. It still has a little bend from the waste gate controller, but I feel much better about it now, though still not a straight run. Still have problems with leaks in the system, will see this morning if anything got quieter.
