External wastegate plumbing advice needed

Hi all, So I am currently getting all the bits together so I can turbo my ZE. I have an external wastegate, this fits onto a pre made spur on the headers just before the turbo, the problem I have is there is no return pipe/connector on the downpipe. What did others do? I don't want a screamer pipe s...

On another note...

So far I have started the ZE on the K8 ECU, and it starts fine.

Last night I decided to put in the KL-31 ECU I got with the ZE, so with that plugged in I turned the key and..... nothing! The car turns over but thats it, does it look like I have a bad ECU?

Thanks

I have been told to bend the bracket back, but am a little worried about doing this.. H...

K, I checked again yesterday,

Wired TEN - GND & LED on FEN - B+

The LED came on for a few seconds then went off and stayed off! I assume this means there are no codes?
