Hey everyone new to the forum just bought a turbo kit for my 91 fox it's a driver side mount my question is about the cross over below where the turbo mount the circle with the two holes my best guess is it's for a wastegate but doesn't look right has the two holes up top and the one side of the circle is not welded completely around, any help is appreciated if anyone has seen this before

That sure does look like the location where the wastegate would go. Someone really butchered that. I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish with the holes. Your best bet would be to cut off the end and weld on a correct wastegate flange.

Thats super ghetto lol. I guess that kit was on a true budget build.
