My manifold is HKS. Here is a pic to show where I would weld the pipe for the wastegate. I'd try to use a couple angles like my manifold has to clear anything in the way, and make sure the turbo and downpipe aren't going to interfear either.

Well and just looking at your setup again, looks like you will need to place it on the other side of the manifold, like my pink circle shows here.

I don't know if using one pipe off the two is all that good of an idea for my situation because it's so close to the turbo flange and it would be very hard to form the pipe to joint the two pipes. Also I'd kind of like to keep the pulses as seprate as possible. I think if I tap into the manifold a little earlier the gasses that go into the turbo will be a little more laminar.

what about if you use your location, setzep, and tilt the pipe over a bit more towards the turbo?

At that height i can't tilt it over any more because it will hit the turbine housing. I'm working on another idea now that will allow better transition and be shorter so I can angle it more. Once I get it sorted I'll post a pic.

just run the two pipes like the HKS manifold has back in to one to the WG flange and put it on the top where you were planning to.. That should work great and keep the ex pulses seperated better...

I want the WG runners to be equal length so I don't get any "favorable" exh bleed from one exh port. What I have in my head right now might be kind of tricky so I may end up making it like the HKS only on the top side of the main runners after all.

Well after thinking of about 20 different ways to do it this is what I chose.

I didn't want to do it this way but in the end I think it was just about the only way I could considering clearance issues. I don't think it turned out all that bad, better than the way I was going to do it at first.

Masking tape is my friend https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



So what do you guys think? Will it work? Should I make any changes before I break out the TIG?
