Sticky this, or at least the first few posts explaining about the EWG. Maybe in the newb forum or here in Engine.

I'll be going with this as they guarantee fitment and have a lifetime warranty for cracking. Looks to be pretty sturdy.

Where did I back up the UR UP? I personally don't like the construction of the UR, and never vouched for it (like I said, I owned one but it never made it on the car). For my money, I would look at either the Element Tuning or P&L UPs. And again, that isn't to say the Grimmspeed will not be another nice option (just that it hasn't really been widely tested yet, so it can't be called "the best").

What options do 4" bellmouth dp owners have? The P&L will fit and is probably one of the better quality, but its $750. Unfortunately TXS ewg wont fit its own dp.

You could do a custom fab with the wastegate being Teed off the up pipe instead of the approx 30deg angle on most of the prefabbed ones. By doing this the wastegate is far enough away from the DP to fit. Also by using a turbosmart you'll gain a bit of room over the tial. If the dumptube is still too close to the DP to fit, just rotate the wastegate 180deg and route the dumptube to dump under the firewall closer to the pass front tire instead being side by side with the DP.

if you already have a tial 44 or a cheap source, the u.p. and dump tube can be bought seperate and they are currently on sale!
