Playing around with pass side and 90 deg vs 45 deg elbow. Need to cut the header flanges as the header is not flat against the head, but this gives me some ideas to work with.
I like the 45* bend, but it puts it awfully close to the rad hose. I mean I’ll def need to run a different hose, maybe go back to the stock one so it gives more room.

Hard to tell, but did a bit of re-positioning on the driver's side to make room for the exhaust side. Pretty sure the turbos I am getting are 3.5" out. Been talking with Bill Devine and the Bullseye seem to be the best quality and price combo. He also came recommended by Rob Parsons.

I hear ya.
But, of course, you got me to thinking
So either I use something like this or weld my own. https://amzn.to/3K8fyPa If you look at that chinesium flange I can probably do as good as them LOL

Motion makes a WG flange.. but.. with that layout, you WG will hit your fan or rad.But, of course, you got me to thinking
I look at the elbows with the wastegate tap, but I didn't want that kind of flow interruption into the turbine. If it came off the side of the elbow, that would be more "interesting" to me, but that cut right in the turn into the turbine? Eh.
I think I am going to try it on the elbow right off the header. That way I think the angle can stay good and the tube can follow the downpipe.
from the photo, either off the first elbow running the gate towards center and down, can weld that first vband solid instead of having another joint and would make plenty of room for a merge, or the second elbow favoring more off the bottom than the "front" looks like there is room. Gate doesn't have to be touching the hotside, can run a small pipe to get the angles and fitment right without any issue.
Thanks for that, I was going to ask if I could extend it.
I'm sure there is a limitation to not make them ridiculous but this the manifold I built for my 2jz and I have good wastegate control still.

Very cool, I like that fixture you made too!
I hear ya, and if I was a good fabricator I could probably get it all perfect, but right now it's pretty darn good and I honestly do not think the wastegates are gonna be a problem. I am going to come down off the 45 deg elbows and then run the WG dump parallel to the main downpipe back aways and then merge them.
At least that's the plan
We’ll, you could say there’s no going back now… Jamie is gonna develop a nervous twitch LOL cause they are not symmetric, but I am sure I can get both sides close with some reclocking and inner fender well massaging. Waste gates will be here tomorrow so I can start messing with downpipes.
Looks good. Fun times.
Sweet. One day I may have time again. This week the 2 ton minisplit hasn't been cutting it in the garage.
