So I am almost done installing a Turbonetics kit on me y8 swap eg and when i tried to close my hood it didn't close. I checked what was blocking it and it is the wastegate. I cant move it from the location it is in without getting another manifold, and I cant cut my hood because it is carbon fiber and the support is thin as it is. What should I do to solve this problem.

the sell a elbow to make your wastegate sit on a angle

If i tilt the wastegate then I would also need to modify my dump tube to work wouldn't I? I had a wild taught to cut a hole in my hood and have part of the wastegate and the dumptube point upward and sit almost flush with the hood and make an aluminum shield \to surround the hood. But thats too wild for me.

prop the hood?
will that work

Just use the elbow thing that bends it down to the side. Easy fix, probably have to change your dumptube though

Yeah i'll try propping the hood first and if that dosen't work ill try to find the elbow.

I know this might be a little different but on my EF with a SIR hood I had to use a ballpeen (sp?) hammer and give it a little indent for my hood to shut all the way. I have a Inline Pro mani with a tial 38mm.
