You mean you wouldn't use that for a bolt on external wastegate?

In your sig it says you have Hotshot headers. Those headers don't have an EGR hole...

Hotshots are supposed to be for 02-03 VQ35 maximas. Thus the EGR is not present and there is an issue with the front O2 sensor hitting the AC compressor on 95-01 Maximas.
