Default thinking about going ewg

i have been debating wether or not to change my fp green to a external wastegate setup. i currently have the fp green with internal gate. gruppe-s has a up pipe ewg combo for sale for $400 shipped. but i also have to take into to consider install charges and retuning charges. im thinking total atleast $1,000. right now im pushing 402 whp and 460 wtq but my tq spikes at 4200 rpm then just drops off.... im also running 50/50 snow meth kit. what are your suggestions?

Install it yourself and it will save you mucho dinero. It should help you hold boost up higher, as well as give you a mean ass sound. Haha.

You can weld it shut or buy a bracket. I will try to find a link for you for the bracket. Will be right back.
Here you go

the ewg kit comes with an invidia up pipe with a ewg flange welded on, the tial 44mm ewg, and the slowboyracing dump tube. All of the connections are v band clamps. I paid 705 for it but we can work on pricing if you're interested. the bracket from area 1320 is 30 bucks shipped.
