Best thing to do would be to take off the nipple, if your not using it, if you need it , as for like a boost controller,get a WG elbow like this...........

where do you purchase that at? I may be in the same situation..I'm running the inline pro mani with the 38mm tial wg and AVCR, so the nipple will be on top. will I run into hodd fitment problems? this is on 00 Si.
thanks
