Sufficient to say, mine is custom, and there are no plans whatsoever of duplicating it.

The BOV is connected to the port in the intake manifold where the PCV valve used to be connected.... so that makes it after the TB. You have to hook it up after the TB to a vac source, if its before, when the TB shuts, then the pressure won't drop (it'll actually shoot up) into vaccum and the valve won't open.
I don't have any boost control other than the WG.

pcv? maybe its diff for yours, mine the pcv is in valve cover and it connected via a hose to the air filter case, which is gone now of course.

Ummm, thats not the PCV, thats the valvecover breather. The PCV is on the back of the engine block on the drivers side, and it connects to the side of the IM plenum

Nice. I really like the SMI, with very little charge piping. Quickest, easiest route to the IM. I also like the dump tube for the WG. I recently installed a catless DP on my car, has a WG dumptube, unlike the stock. Spools much quicker now, and really gained some nice power. Although I raised the boost about 6 psi as well, lol.

Congrats on the new toy, have a blast!

No tuning took place. I dropped the car off at 10, they ****ed around all day, it didn't even get strapped to the dyno until 5, and they close at 7, but said the tuning takes around 4 hrs then they called me to say they can't get their laptop to jive with the e-manage, I asked if they updated the firmware, they hadn't so they tried and couldn't, and the car never got tuned, so they re-scheduled me for wednesday, but I don't think I'm gonna take it back there. I need a new tuner.
I just can't catch a break.

Its quasi-tuned... I'm running off someone's dyno tune with a similar enough setup that it runs fine, just a little rich. I try to keep out of it, but sometimes its a little tough to do. The turbo spools at 2000 in 2nd gear with little to no effort.
Getting it tuned in baltimore on tuesday.

Luke and Rob, my buddies who slaved over this thing for over 14 hours to get this thing in the car and running.
Phil who let us use his driveway to do it
Tom (Tfnaaf) who gave me his basemap tune for e-manage and give me lots of info about lots of turbo this and that
Dezod who put up with my e-manage n00biness
Edwin (skipbarber) who's been my local "need to boost" online support group for the last few months. Now I gotta get your *** boosted.
And everyone else on here who came up with a valuable answer to some of the dumb questions I thought of over the past 5 months or so. It all works now, so Thanks a lot everyone.

In case anyone is wondering about what all I shoved under there.......
Garrett GT28R w/ a 7psi GT28RS actuator hung on ATP turbo's universal WG bracket
-4 oil feed w/ .035 restrictor
-10 hardline return
-6 water feed lines in series with TB heater return
HKS cast iron manifold, Jet-hotted
Downpipe is custom
intake pipe is custom
compressor housing is semi-custom (Garrett M24 housing w/ 90 degree elbow added to compressor out)
Intercooler is custom
Charge pipes are pretty non-existent.
Bosch/Porsche DV, recirculated into the intake pipe (If you go the Bosch route, make sure you use the PORSCHE valve, the Bosch part number is 0 280 142 108 DO NOT USE THE VW/AUDI/SAAB/VOLVO valve. They look the same from the outside, but only the Porsche one has a brass pent roof diaphragm, the rest have a flat roof rubber diaphragm which leaks under boost.)
PCV eliminated
valve cover vent and PCV are catchcanned w/ slash cut vacuum source in the intake pipe
K series 310 CC injectors
E-manage with all 3 harnesses and the boost sensor
NGK BCPR7ES plugs, gapped to .028
AEM UEGO
Defi-link is still all hooked up
Im glad i could help man and good to see its running. I've been on vaction in carmel california and was not able to check your progress LOOKS GREAT, cant wait to hear your reviews after tune!

1. The O2 sensors.

2. because the wastegate routes exhaust gas AROUND the turbo. If all of the exhaust gasses went through the turbo, it would just keep making more and more and more boost until your motor went boom. So the wastegate routes exhaust gas around the turbo to keep it making only the amount of boost you set it for.
