New 14cm waste gated housing

I scored a 14cm waste gated housing on ebay a week ago and it just showed up today. I paid $310 for it and it showed up sand blasted and looking new, couldn't be happier with the purchase. I have a couple questions,if you guys wouldn't mind helping me out. First there is no backing plate for the exhaust to bolt to, what are the chances of finding one at local shops. Actually ATS is just down the street from me, I thought they might have an old one from a 94+.What's a fair price for one without the elbow that I wont need? Second, the housing came with a 'Big Head' from a Banks kit that max's out at 41 pounds. I doubt I'll even get close to that but if I were to change injectors... can I keep it down around 35 psi with a manual boost controller?

Can't wait to try it out. Every since I installed the Goerends TC I've never been able to get past 20 lbs on the gauge and I have be careful not to get to hot while towing heavy loads. Empty I get to 1300 pretty quick, and I have a lot left on the fuel screw I cant even use. Hopping this does the trick.

It's Friday!

The Banks wastegate actuator is adjustable, so no need for a MBC.

Try a shop that does exhaust brakes. Some brands of exhaust brake replace that flange.

If your EGT problems are at low RPM, the new housing will help.
