i put the plug in today...very easy to do. That heater coil is pretty damn big too :eek: I drilled the plug and tapped it for a 1/8 NPT and put in a 1" nipple and hooked my boost gauge up to it. I also unhooked to wire from the glow plug controller to the intake heater coil. I started it and didnt get a code but it was warm out. I will see how it goes. Im still seeing roughly 30 PSI of boost just as i was seeing when it was in the wastegate line.

Make sure you tape those wires up real good, there is alot of voltage that runs to those wires
