should I grind my wastegate down or buy an elbow?
 

I contemplating whether or not I should grind down the top of my wastegate so it clears the head.. i'm broke as ---- right now so i'm not trying to buy an elbow if I don't have to.. it clears the hood so that's not an issue.

btw does anyone have a cheap wastegate flange they don't need so I can get the dump tube made?

what about denting the underside of your hood to clear.

not the top layer but the reinforcement.

i dont know how good the car looks.

If it was a knockoff I would go ahead and grind it, wouldn't wanna ruin a real TiAl though. Get an adapter.

I would get a few wg flanges and gaskets and stack them untill you cleard the head, or get a elbow and fab away.

send the manifold back to where you got it from and demand one that fits properly... that is bs.
