Thanks guys! Didn't relaize that my turbo had a rubber line for the wastegate, my '01 had a steel line.

So what you are saying is the the stock turbo makes the best HP when the WG is left alone?

Depends on what your boost level (max) is with the additional fueling. If getting 30 psi leave the wastegate along. If still around 24 psi will need a boost elbow to get the pressure up to the low 30 psi range. The addtional boost will help lower the EGTs, but to a point.
