The large pipe is 3" aluminized steel and covers the turbine outlet. The smaller pipe is 1" stainless and covers the wastegate outlet on the turbine housing. As you can see the stock wastegate acutuator assembly has been removed and replaced by the base plate to which the pipes are welded. The shop that did this for me cut the plate out of steel, specifically what type I do not know. If you look on Turbonetics site they already have a plate made to replace the wastegate actuator assembly. All it would need is to have the wastegate hole bored out in the plate. Who ever you buy the wastegate from should be able to provide any mating flanges the wastegate will need.
Items needed:
1. External wastegate with flanges
2. Base Plate either cut or or purchased from Turbonetics
3. 3" Exhaust Pipe
4. 1" or so Wastegate pipe depending on style of wastegate
5. Top notch fabricator and welder - maybe its hard to tell from the pictures, but the welds are uniform and flush with the pipe surface instead of a big glob.
That should get you started.
Steve
