in my reply? You tend to rebutt alot of my posts, so I was just making a correction to yours. 
BTW, has anyone actually felt a difference in the "gain" function on the UTEC boost control. I have tried high numbers and low numbers and it doesn't seem to do much of anything.

I was tired of the open dumps from the waste gate and just tied them into my test pipes. This required a bit of fabrication of 1 1/2 exhaust pipe. I'll send or post pictures of the installation if anyone is interested.
I have the wastegate relocation kit from SGP which lowered the wastegates under the engine and simply replaced the dump line with new flanged 1 1/2" line with a welded connection into the test pipe.
Chris at Engine Logic built and installed for me yesterday.( 4 hours labor plus a little material cost) Sounds quite now when you get down on it. You can actually hear the exhaust note of the 2 1/2" APS exhaust . Also, there was no noticeable loss in power. I ran a dyno test after installing but since it was a different dyno manufacturer , I don't have a good comparison for before and after. Anyway I am happy with the results.

For the TN kit the open dumps are the only way to go becasue they keep you from loosing all the top end power. Not to mention they sound ****ing BEAST. Nothing is better than driving by some prissy lady in a ragne rover sipping a latte and hitting it and watching he face. I don't know if its as much of a "Gain" of power as much as it is a Holding the power instead of making it drop off from 64-70
