I also have the STS system, along with meth and nitrous. I haw noticed a large boost creep issue when staying on it for a long period of time. Do you expect the larger wastegate to solve that issue? If so where can I get one and does it go in the same location as the old one just before the driver side exhaust tip?

Very nice! You'll love that wastegate. How does the weight of the new rods compare to stock?

I'm gonna turn my x pipe into a y pipe and put the wastegate closer to the turbo and then route it to the other exhaust tip. I have already ordered the aluminum fuel plate and ill figure out how I'm gonna run it once I get the car running. The new rods are a bit lighter than the old ones and definitely a lot stronger.
