Since there is no wastegate, what do you guys think is the easiest way to tap into the system??

Well I went and installed it anyways. I drilled and tapped the aluminum tubing that I believe is the intake because it is right after the charged air pipe ends and then this aluminum piece goes down into the top of the motor. My truck boosts about 21-23 psi and that is bone stockhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

I get bone stock of 24 psi... Towed a 26 ft toy hauler and saw EGT get up to 1375+ degrees pulling hard uphill, had to back off.... For a stock motor, I didn't think it would get that high. Time for 4" exhaust I guess... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Well I wasnt towing anything so its hard to tell. I'm sure you can get more boost when the motor is under a load.
