Hey guys, could use some help identifying how I can work out running my wastegate into this port here on the intake piping. I know this isn't ideal, as the wastegate should be going into the compressor housing (or at least the piping prior to the intercooler) but this is the only clear option that I have right now. If I'm correct I think this port is normally used for a boost controller.

If anyone knows how I can fit a tube/line onto here from the wastegate I'd appreciate it!

you can buy a blockoff plate and a nipple plus a gasket. Then drill a hole and tap it to fit the nipple. Or you can try and find a plate that has a nipple already on it with a gasket. Although i dont know what it's call. good luck.

Thanks. Yeah, I have no idea where I'll find a blockoff plate that will fit this lol.

I don't really know if I've ever seen a port like this before.

Isn't that the port for the 06+ IAT sensor? My KW kit had a port that looked almost identical that was unused on my 04.

If its the same side as the exhaust wastegate dump tube flange, then u can get the gasket and trim it to fit. If not then use some gasket maker. If u have a bandsaw and a bench grinder, u can buy a square piece of metal 1/8" or 3/16" thick and cutout a plate to fit. Then use the bench grinder to smooth out the edges and to fit. Then drill the bolt holes and tap a hole for a nipple which u can get at homedepot. Use teflon on the nipple threaded side to prevent leaks. If u don't feel like doing all tat, u can have a metal shop cutout a plate for u and the rest should be a piece of cake.

That is a blow off valve. A wastegate is on the exhaust side of a turbo. It regulates exhaust flow through the turbo. Plumbing the dump tube into the intake pipe or the compressor housing is definitely a no-no. That is pumping exhaust directly into your engine.
I would leave the blow off valve as an atmosphere dump. It does very little and a new tune is recommended. Also, plumbing the blow off valve back into the piping is counter productive. A blow off valve is designed to vent excess pressure when the throttle plate closes. By plumbing the released pressure back into the piping, it will keep constant pressure in the system (counteracting what the BOV is designed to do). It is often recirculated into the intake to help force air into the compressor housing, which helps decrease lag slightly.

And yes, that port is for the AIT sensor on the 06+
