im not complaining...im just showing you what i had to do since i wanted to put the turbo that way. theres no right way. theres a way you think it should go, but not everyone will want to do it that way. im just saying if you still are offering the log style mani, put the wastegate flange somewhere else

I hate downpipes on the driver side. That makes the charge pipes longer and that's usually more of a bitch than the downpipe.

by the looks of it the manifold you got was an ac manifold, and there was always the option for having the wastegate on the opposite side.

Re:FINAL DESIGNS ON MINI ME!!

Those welds look alot better than my bmc mani. But I would have to sat that when I got the manifold I was impressed. It was ported on the inside. thats what counts. On that one, beauty wasn't skin deep.
