Yeah I agree nothing is breaking here either which is good. It doesn't mean there are not questions that we can answer about upgrades tho.

I think my tranny is going to limp soon, that would be a heck of a B-day gift from the wife, a SCIV.

use a 5/16 nut driver and pull off that pretty little plastic 6.6l cover off.

there would be a black hose that will go from the turbo to the wastegate. use some pliers and pull it off and cut it in half. the slice the valve in there with the supplied hose clamps.

heres a pic of where the hose should be, i colored it in with red
