What's with the gigantor wastegate loop of doom arching up over the manifold?
Perhaps it's Corky's tribute to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial?
Seriously though, whats the low down on it?

Looking at the manifold, there doesn't seem to be any other way to get exhaust from 3-4into the wastegate stream and maintain a reasonable wastegate placement.
As long as it works I don't care what it looks like. It'll be covered by the heatshield anyway.

Thanks man. I'm not sweating the R1 so much anymore. The traffic around here is getting so bad it was bound to happen at some point. I'm just glad I'm around and not in a wheelchair.
Now, should I install the Xede? I won't be slapping the turbo on for a couple of weeks until I can reserve some garage time. Is there any harm to installing the piggyback now to make sure everything is 100%?

I'm in for dynoing.
I'm trying to resist the urge to pull the car into my carport and start turning wrenches. It's almost above freezing...
I have today off waiting for a Direct TV installer. Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be pretty warm.

Guuuuuhhh....
I feel your pain on the bike man. Haven't been on the street in over a year, track only for me. Didn't have a wreck *that* bad, but I've had a couple in my time. Lost dozens of friends to those god damn things, and I've yet to know anyone get seriously hurt on a track.
