    if that were the case he'd have blown his shit up already... incorrectly hooked up external gate=BOOM! external gates have only a couple ways to hook them up and they either make the boost you want or a hell of a lot more than you want. due to their design they couldn't hang open unless it were to be opened up and the spring removed completely.

    i think it was from the intake manifold to the turbo then a T to the wg (the side port not the top port )
