ATS housing installed,

bring on the DP
I am a little suprised at how easy it was to install, only about 1 hour including a run to the store. Hardest part, probably removing/ reinstalling the clip on the wastegate rod. It would have been easier with a skinnier pair of arms, but they were out of them at the store

Also, while I was in there, I installed the HPX line. If you are going to do this around the same time as the housing, do the housing first. Another easy install, taking about 20 minutes. Fired back up, no leaks anywhere. I'll get a few miles on it and recheck everything again.

Thanks to all who have answered my questions about these and other mods, and everyone else who contributes to the boards, you are a great bunch of guys. I believe the only place to find this kind of help and a friendly atmospere is

It's always nice when installs go without any snags.

One thing I noticed with the ATS housing is that the whistle is a lot less noticeable, especially at lower boost #'s. Also, it seems to have a lot higher pitch to it.
