Haha sorry guys it's not that complicated I got it running properly late friday. I feel like such an idiot. I didn't realize that the car had a MAP/Baro Sensor and I had left it on the air pump. Reinstalled it and it runs fine now.
Only current problem is there is a minor leak coming from my sandwich plate which I have yet to resolve. The kit runs great!

Thanks for the input. I really want this kit, but I was just concerned about the wastegate location. Im here in Colorado and we have all 4 seasons in 1 day.

Jeff, I dont think it's THAT low, although I wouldn't be surprised if it did that
however, it's better than SR20 turboes, their internal wastegate is always stuck open, and the turbo never spools, whats the point.....

Finally Boosted!!!!!!!
Yes, it is THAT low and no, its very different than that. An open wastegate won't cause an engine to blow. However, a broken wastegate can cause the boost to spike and BOOM.

Have you actually seen an installed kit and looked under the car.
Your estimate is pretty off actually... the WG head only sticks out a little more than 1" from the bottom of the cross member. With the ground clearance of a stock car being about 5.5"-6" and a lowered one being about 4.5" in this area that would put the wastegate at about 3.75"-5" off the ground depending on how lowered the car is. This more than you can say for a lot of other sport cars. Don't judge ground clearance by looking at the bottom of the front bumper. The actual clearance of under car components is more.
