You may have to Notch the block. There is webbing on the block that gets in the way and it's there from casting really don't need it. You can trim that away if that is the problum you are having.

You need to pull out the center console. Then drill a hole threw the fire wall and make sure the wastegate is held good. i did that and now it works like a charm.
