Plumbing the Wastegate on a Turbo 8.1 Vortec Silverado

The wastegate is a very important part of any turbo setup because you want to have the correct amount of boost. In this upload, I build a tube to recirculate the wastegate dump into the turbo down pipe, and I weld an aluminum bung into the compressor outlet adapter to pull the boost reference line from. UglyTruck is a 2000 Silverado 1500 thats been swapped to an 8.1 big block with a 4L80e transmission, and we're in the process or turbocharging it, and wastegate plumbing is top of the list.
