Finally have all of the pieces to get this done. Took a while to get the hot pipe but it is here 
For those with a Stage 2 P1/D1 and the Red Race value this is what you need:
- Hot side pipe from Boostworks relocating the race valve to the front
- 4.38 pulley and belt (thanks Tommy V)
- MVS 38mm Tial Wastegate
- Welder and a tune update
After initial pipe fitment it looks as though the MVS will go in the old spot of the race valve. It can fit up front with some trimming but I do not want all that bulk at the front of the pipe; seems like a lot of weight on that one coupler. The MVS is super small compared to the BOV so pressing against the stock rubber PC tube will not be an issue.
I stopped tuning with Lund a few weeks back as we agreed to continue once the wastegate setup was in place. I was seeing 15psi on the 4.75 pulley at 7300 rpm and that was more than I wanted. The new setup will be limited to 12psi but it should come on much faster than before ;)
I will post installed pics in the next week or so and will update with a dyno and vids after that.
Hope this helps someone who is wondering what to pick up for a torque booster kit for the PC.
UPDATE 11-8-16*** Rather than dig through to see what what other options you can do for the wastegate I thought I would put it in the first post.
I did NOT use the pipe I purchased from Boostworks. I ended up using the stock pipe that came with the PC kit. The reason was simple, finding an aluminum weld flange for the Tial wastgate was impossible. I am sure someone with a lathe could have fabricated one but no one local to me.
Boostworks did offer to work something up for me if I sent them the WG and the pipe. Unfortunately I felt I already spent too much and waited to long to get this up and running. I ended up taking a small loss and selling the pipe
The stock pipe works great. I placed the pipe back in the car and marked the location of where i wanted the WG. I took it to a local shop and they used a small piece of coping and welded the flange on. It was ready to go the next day! I then sanded down the pipe and re painted with VHT high temp flat black paint.
Once I got it home I found that the best place to source boost pressure was from the pipe directly. I tapped the pipe with a 1/4 nipple and then had a friend weld it on.
Thanks to Beefcake are in order as I essentially copied his Paxton torque boost kit.
Total Cost
- TIal MVS $251
- Welding $75
- Pulley $100
**Note on the bottom pic I have the vacuum line on the top port...that is not correct, look to page 3 for details on the MVS vacuum guide. I had it there just for S's and G's...
