I just got an hx 35 supposed to be off of a 98' 12 valve. Two questions. Why doesn't it have a silencer ring. Doesn't even have a place for one it looks like. and what should I do with the rubber hose off of the waste gate

Some industrial turbos don't use a silencer ring. That may be the case with your turbo. The rubber hose should go from the wastegate to a source of boost to operate it. You could run a line from the port on the head to the waste gate like some of the 2nd gen do.

What if my boost gauge is already coming out of that port?

You can block the wastegate off, install a T fitting or drill and tap for another fitting to supply the wastegate in the intake manifold or even on the supply side of the turbo

Ok. My waste gate just has. Hose coming off the head. Just plug it?
