thanks, so i will need a 3.5 for the tb. and when i took the stock pipe off that connects the air filter and vaf to the side of the turbo, i noticed that there is a small nipple on the bottom near the side of the turbo that a tiny hose connects to and it comes from the turbo , what is that for, do i plug it or run a breather to it ??

idk how much it would affect the air mixture if any, but it would suck a little unmetered air in. I know its not enough to make your car run like crap because i had that nipple open you are talking about and my car idled and ran fine. Wouldnt hurt to just plug it up though for the hell of it.

Thats the vent for the stock wastegate solenoid.

If you are not using the solenoid just plug it.
