Default Peakboost turbo kit... wastegate dump tube hitting frame?

I have a PeakBoost kit, and the dumptube on the wastegate hits against the frame (EK with GSR), and doesn't even let me put in the lower bolt...

Anyone have this problem? I'm probably going to ask a local shop to cut it and re-weld it for me.

Was the kit for the b18c1 you bought designed to be compatible in other chasis?

It was specifically designed for a B18C1 in an EK/EG according to PeakBoost.

Looks like I got a H series dumptube. Ken @ peak is going to overnight me the right dumptube, and give me a label to return the H Series one.

Peakboost gets a big

I don't know why people don't understand this and do it before making a post!
