Default Wastegate Location on Turbo Manifold

Ok i search for this but could not find any great explination.

I have a b16 Turbo header with the wastegate piped off Cly #4. Is this a real bad thing or will it be ok to bleed the boost from one runner iinstead of the collector? What would be the drawback and possible how big of a deal is it if any?

I will be running a T3/T4 with no more that 10 psi and mostly 5psi everyday with a Blitz Boost controller.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks..

It may creep, meaning the boost may spike a few psi. Drag manifolds were also designed this way.

ok
So Cly 1,2,3 may see a little more boost than the others before the Waste gate opens.Then everything should equal out? But for 10 psi or less this might be ok?

You should be fine, I'd also suggest in using a Tial Wastegate over a Delta (if thats what you were going to use)
