get creative, and use flipped oem cast manis and a y pipe, as v8dave said, put turbo over inner frame area, move water bottle elsewhere....
or a TIGHT log mani and put turbo where that header is now.

Re: noob to the whole FI
maybe I didnt read the thread thoroughly enough but why don't you just bolt an internal gate onto the turbo and bypass all of this frustration? Is there no exhaust housing made for that turbo with an internal gate?

If you've got a welding degree(?), then just buy a flange and make a log. Better still, got twin turbo

Re: noob to the whole FI
i am acctually in the process of modifying one of those manifolds for my supplier. i am going to put a flange at the collector, then run a tube down under the car just a bit and have the wastegate sit there. i just tried to take some pics. i dont know if they will make any sense to you but i will try anyway. i have the manifold and turbo mounted, but havent touched any of the wastegate stuff yet
::EDIT:: i have a gasket for the M50 engine. i could send it to my flange guy and sell you a flange if you want also.
here is a close up pic of where the tube will come out of the manifold. i have labeled a few things to help orient you in the car.
this pic is at the same angle and just a little farther down towards the rear of the car. the opening on the wastegate will be connected to the downpipe off the turbo

Re: noob to the whole FI
I've got an M50 dwg
Can't quite get the right perspective on those pics, looks like in that last pic you're mounting the wg *under* the car??
Shame it'll never be of any use to us RHD guys, it's tough just getting a 3.5" DP down past the steering shaft let alone putting the turbo down there too
