Yeah I'm not a fan of blue really either, but had no choice
Back on topic, tonight I'll be putting a new belt on, and moving my WG ref port back to the compressor nipple to see if that makes it better..
I'm also going to adjust the WI to turn on later.

I have that same mani on my setup, but instead of cutting a hole for the wastegate I bought a t3 to t3 adapter with the wastegate flange in the middle that bolts between the turbo and the mani. Cast I tricky to weld, and I hope that you heated up both parts with a torch really good before you welded it, if you dont heat it up it doesnt get good penetration and the weld is weak. Props on the Diy, I think it looks great, Good Luck!

Your right, i totally forgot to update this thread.. will do today. As far as the pistons, I'm hoping WI combined with a safe a/f ratio will be enough to keep my pistons happy even at 18 or so psi. We will see I guess.

With the adapter piece that I used the turbo sits maybe 3/4 from being flush with the top of the valve cover. So clearance was almost an issue, but I think that I just got lucky!
This is the one that I used and I only got it for $5 b/c the kid I bought it from bought the wrong one:
