You can then just put a brass barb joiner back into your stock line - which I presume is the one going to the waste-gate controller.
If you're going to do the EBPV delete you can get the 'high-flow' turbo outlet to replace the EBPV outlet & thereby get rid of the PO's thermacouple hole.
On the good side, at least the PO's PO was monitoring EGT & so your turbo is probably in better knick now for their care.
The AIH delete is on the to-do list so I will go with the ported
delete plug, it's a neater option.
Likewise the EBPV is destined for the scrap heap. Intend buying the
replacement turbo pedestal and high flow outlet.
There are a few other things to be done before that lot.
