where did you get this manifold. it appears to be a cast manifold rather than a weld one. is the hole on the bottom for the wastegate

i got it from dark import nights from ebay. Cost me around 230 and yeah i think the bottom is for a wastegate, not sure cause again i am new to turbo, so if it is for the wastegate what do i do about the wastegate on the turbo? i'll try to get some more pics soon.

If you have an internal wastegate turbo, you just have to use one or the other. Just block the extra one off.

Very nice. There aren't many cast manifolds out there, this one should last a very long time. That top/side mount flange is clocked just about identical to mine. It's a tight fit for the turbo back there, and it's hard to get an intake tube on it, but it'll fit.

If your turbo has an internal wastegate, you can either block off the hole on the manifold or get rid of the internal gate and use an external to attach to the manifold.
