u got the right idea for the pan if it is an aluminum pan, but if it is not drill a whole and put the fitting in and just weld it= no leak for life. u need a THREE way fitting from lowes to run the vacuum line from bov to waste gate to mani.

Use bulkhead NA fittings like this one: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2D220082&N=700+4294923333+4294906744+115&autoview=sku

No weld, and in case down the road you no longer have turbo, you could cap it off using AN cap: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=RUS%2D661980&N=700+4294924496+115&autoview=sku

It is as good as weld. I'm doing the same way to my car.

Personally, I just dont like the fact of knowing that I have JB Weld holding something together underneath my car. I went ahead and had mine welded on frome both sides. I can still cap it off with an AN fitting later if I need, plus I can sleep easier at night knowing that it's not going anywhere. But....that's just my $0.02

Don't run it from IM after throttle body. Read this: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=118699

agian thanks for the help with the wastegate i know i have to put a fitting before the throttle body most ppl put it at the turbo housing but i will put mine right before the throtle body so i get maximum bost without any loss of pressure




but now how do i do the bov it has 2 fittings on it

Hook it up anywhere from behind the throttle body. Anywhere where this is vacuum... When you let off the throttle you will get vacuum instead of boost... that vacuum opens the piston in the BOV which gives you the whoosh.
