Yeah $700 for fabrication and install. A tad over what I was willing to pay, but I got a few other bits and pieces cheaper. I'd rather one workshop do all my work.

Unless there is a good reason not to have it electronically controlled this is what I'd be looking at doing.
This was one suggestion I was given by somebody earlier.
Might bring it up with my tuner and see what he thinks.

i was having a look at wai's tial wastegate with the v-band flanges and clamps...

damn they fit well.. also very easy to put together and take apart no welding required.

vyper if i was you bud dont skimp on it, 06 STI you might aswell put away a couple extra dollars and ya set dude...

i am sure also if your installer is good at what he does there shouldnt be any problems. keep us updated

Vbands so the pipe is easy to move into position amongst all the other crap under car.
