I explained the GReddy turbo "fix #2" to my local tuning shop today.
He had a look and told me it would require having to take apart 1/2 the car to get out the turbo outlet pipe. :Freak_ani
Is there any quicker way to accomplish this?

hmmm, to put a nipple on the pipe? If you remove the passenger side wheel, you can directly access that pipe. If you wanted to pull it out, you'd have to remove the front bumper, remove the ffront passenger wheel, remove a few bolts, and untighten the couplers, then pull it out.
So... should be able to do it and put it back together in 1-2 hours if you had to take it all apart. If you can do it with it on the car, 20 mins.

Is that even possible?
Cause all the metal shavings would need to be removed after he drills the hole.

Another thing he was saying is that the wastegage signal does not need to be installed on the turbo outlet pipe. He wanted to grab the signal from the charge pipe.

It's really easy to do yourself. Half the car does not have to come apart.
Jack up the front end, pull the passenger wheel, pull the bumper, undo the couplers and unbolt the pipe. Shouldn't take more than 2 hours to get the first compression pipe off the turbo outlet, then 5 minuets to drill and tap the pipe and thread in the nipple. Bolt the compression pipe back on and then run the silicone hose for the w/g line.
