the welding cast iron won't be a problem my dad has worked at the plants as a machinist/boilermaker/pipefitter/welder. basically he is certified to do anything he wants at dow. he has certifications to weld any type of metal he wants to touch a rod to so that would be so much more convenient and i drive my truck through a lot of pastures/mud so i dont want the waste gate to get beat up. just yesterday i went through a pasture to retrieve a trailer to get cows and came out with mud surrounding my crosspipe under the tranny so i know it got bottomed out in one of the ditches i went through

Thanks dave i think i've got most everything figured out the rajay will go on first due to needing the wastegate for the holset and when i get everything figured out with the holset it can go on. I really appreciate all of this i would have been lost.

eBay Motors: BRAND NEW!! 50mm 12psi EXTERNAL TURBO WASTEGATE 50 MM (item 140317948721 end time May-03-09 22:03:09 PDT)
eBay Motors: H1C HOLSET TURBO CHARGER (item 200333058484 end time Apr-21-09 07:26:44 PDT)
this is what i have accomplished so far. Things got crazy with college and work and i just started drivin the ford and quit playing with it but i took my last final today and bout to start rockin on this project.
I am moving both batteries to the pass side, putting my air filter in the drivers battery tray, getting the oil from the sender and returning it to the timing gear cover, the rdt will be ran off of the valley pan gromet and a freeze plug will seal the hole in the back of the intake. What will be a good way to seal the turbo to the flange I have some copper spray gasket but the can says it is only good until 500 degrees. If anyone has any questions or thinks of something i may have forgot please ask them they may save me trouble later.
I am a little concerned about the intake hat in that the inlet is so small.. will this affect performance?

so i got the wastegate but it didnt come with any instructions i know the hole on the side is supposed to go to the intake for psi referencev but what about the holes on top. I know when you blow in one then the air comes out the other if that helps any. i cant take a pic of it as i dont have a camera that will load onto my computer so look at the link in my post above.

That wastegate is HUGE! I really doubt you need a 50mm wastegate. A 38mm would probably be sufficient and is a really common size.
Anyway I dunno about that particular wastegate, but the one I just bought for my THunderbird has a nipple on the side and then one on the top. I was told you hook your boost controller (or boost reference) line to the side port, and leave the top one open to atmosphere.
That doesnt' really sound right to me but that's what I was told.

see i was told by the seller that those were the vacum lines but that is all that they know. i was told by a mechanic in town that the side went to the reference line to open the gate and the top was for a boost controller and to run more boost than the gate would let you

i sit right at sea level and the terrain around here is flat. I can push it past 1200 real quick when loaded but unloaded it takes a while.my egts sit right at 600 unloaded at 60 and loaded they sit at 900 at 65 but as i have mentioned the main thing that is on my side is flat terrain.
the wastegate i got is 12 psi dave so im tryin to keep it safe but still experiment a little lol
