Will A 14cm Non-WG Housing Bolt-Up?
I am getting a 14cm non-wg housing and want to have everything needed for the install when it arrives. I know I have to move the exhaust about 1" back, but other than that will this unit bolt right up?

Yes, it will fit like it grew there. Get a new flange gasket and oil return gasket, they are around $5 at Dodge for both. Just lie to 'em and tell 'em it's for an '02.

Sorry to disagree with you there, Greg, but the non gated 12's and 14's are made off the same castings as their 'gated brethren - they just don't have the passage drilled or mechanisms installed. They take up just as much space and the exhaust still needs to be moved.

Your post above got me thinking (and that can be dangerous for all involved ), if the casting is there can one just drill the hole and drill/tap for a wastegate/boost controller like most of you guys are running?
Come on, lay it on me...I know if can't be that easy!

When Im going to change an exhaust housing. I just loosen the oil drain clamp down on the hose and pull the drain tube with the turbo. I guess im a bit lazy, I hate to scrape that drain gasket, it can be a pain.

Are there some internal parts on a WG housing that would be needed to convert a non-WG housing over?

It would take more work than it's worth to convert a NON-WG housing into a WG housing and it probably wouldn't last long because of the heat.
