First startup video in 5 months. Fresh oil, lifters are ticking. It's also only running on 7 cylinders. We ran out of spark plug wire for #8. Working on that as I post this.

I'm the same same way. Always missing a little something and just say F it I'll start it up anyways. Lol

Hows the boost control with the wastegate routed that way? Any boost creep or spikes?

Just wondering because I may do something like this if my current setup doesnt reach my goals.

I absolutely love the sound of a dumped wastegate. It's exactly like a turbo car should sound. Like a passing jet.
I dropped the car back off yesterday to get a Mantic twin disc clutch installed, A/C line runs (yeah it has AC), and a MSD 2-step box wired in. Gonna turn up the boost after that.

Well we went to replace the clutch and as we removed the torque tube from the clutch and crank we discovered the pilot bearing was 80 percent gone and the input shaft was scoured.
I ordered a built 1000hp torque tube from RPM Transmissions. Should be here by next week, and then we can complete the install.

There's a lot of other small things that had to be replaced that costed money.
Overall I'd say I have $32-35k just in mods and labor. It is in no way a budget build However it was money well spent. This car gets so much attention and it's a BLAST to drive.
