Jealous! Illinois gas taxes are stupid! Always pay above $3/gal.

Talk to Alex, get the forge wg, or turbosmart perhaps...you'll peak at least 3-4 psi higher, holding will taper a bit slower.

Just to my boost tap at the manifold

In a few months I will do w/m. Must recharge finances.
Yeah wastegate install requires turbo pull right?
Or I remember the axle thing someone mentioned as well.
I would have to talk to my shop to see what they could do.

I was looking art mine last night and I can remove the 2 wg bolts from the top. I'm not sure I could get the new one in, but I can get it out.

That's a scary thought of a one way street. Even once I install a new wg, you got to re tune for it right? So I need to do some real saving

Well, I have read a lot of threads where the ecu adapts just fine without an issue, but overboost could be an issue. I would run an mbc in parallel in case, so you can bleed boost off. For instance, my tune supposedly calls for 25 psi, I'm only peaking 22 (as Alex had said the stock WG is about maxed at that area with an efficient set up). So if I hit 25 or so with the forge WG, I'm just fine with that....but the ecu needs about 50 or more miles to adapt to the new settings.
Ooooook, Mark that one a NO on getting it from the top lol, too much shit in the way

I just hit 325/325 today on the dynojet.

Is that in 3rd or 4th? Also, was your car heatsoaked prior to the run? 2 pulls total? How far did you drive to get to that dyno place? Sorry for bombarding you with questions.
Exact same thing happened to me, just not 5 mins in. I will ask Alex but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the new tune. Getting P1335...something like torque limit exceeded. Could be that the tune is asking too much from the DSG? I'd just go to the previous tune to be honest. Alex will fix this with the next tune.
You likely won't be able to because the heatshield and the manifold are in your way and they are both a beach to deal with, at least in my case.
Ended up having the shop install the WG and they did NOT have to take the turbo out. Pretty sure they did it from below. You do have to remove the drive axle and other stuff...but ultimately not the turbo.

These two pulls are 4th gear. Car was sitting for maybe 30mins after I drove to the shop before I got on the dyno since my friend went first. Stopped at 2 pulls in 4th because of top rpm misfire. Tried a 3rd gear pull but was not ideal to dyno so we scrapped it. Shop is maybe 25 miles from my house.
Probably more hp on the table, having some issues I'm trying to sort out.
