I am going to buy one of the ATS plugs and try drilling and tapping it. I have already tapped the the bypass hole and put a set screw in it so I do not have to worry about bleed off.

With the ATS plug there is no chance of bleed off. All passages are blocked & sealed with o-rings. Drilling & taping the aluminum compressor cover is very easy & the boost elbow should be 1/8 npt... the same tap as most EGT probes.

The plug & o-rings were around $40.00. It's a very nicely machined, well thought product & well worth the money in my mind. Again this is not needed to use the turbo in a swap but does clean up the install. I've removed the solenoid, plugged the bypass holes, reinstalled the solenoid & that works also.

Just to g ive you guys some reference:
BD Super B Single: 57/65/14
BD Super B Special: 64/71/14
Most HE351s can be found for $200-$400, with very little miles on them
Most aftermarket turbos will cost $1300-$2000ish
The HE351 is a very nice upgrade, for those 03-04 owners on a tight budget, who want more performance with some mild mods.
This is a great thread, with alot of useful info!
