Alright I finnally got my flange for my turbo, its T25 off a S14 SR20 and I noticed that the little valve on the wastegate has no where to be routed. On my stock CA turbo its routed right back into the turbo on the inlet side of the compressor. What am I missing?

Also I was recommended to change my fuel filter. I heard a Z32 fuel filter will work just fine. Is this true?

T28 from S14? The wastegate can go to any vacuum/boost source before the throttle body. The closer to the compressor the sooner the wastegate will open, I feel it is easier to control boost this way. Z32 filters work OK. My gripe is that it's so ridiculously wide that the bracket that wraps around the filter doesn't fit around it and it won't stay there unless you ziptie it or something. Regardless, I use one.
