decisions... decisions...
replace a hard to install, hard to fine and expensive manifold OR replace an easy to install, easy to find, not too expensive waste gate

don't take too long... you'll hurt something

Yeah cause those chinese cast manifolds are so rare and expensive ::)

As already stated the simple HMT solution is to make something that works with what you have, not waste money buying new parts casue OMG THEY DON'T BOLT TOGETHER STRAIGHT FROM THE BOX!!1!! A simple spacer works fine.

So you 2c is not only late after the fact but it is stupid
