Its great to see some good wastegate placement, mindful of the flow path for bypass. I've seen too many crazy money build cars with $1000+ wastegates on hand welded pie cut elbows and stuck on at a with no regard to actual flow.

You want the path for the gates to be more desirable than the turbine.

It isn't easy with normal swing-valve internal wastegates without oversizing the flapper and having a crappy exhaust A/R, especially on really old turbo cars. The amount of truly fast cars sticking multiple gigantic external wastegates in bad places (Inside corners!) because the logo won't be perfectly aligned is surprising.

Is OP still alive or did he die shiny and chrome on the fury road, blasted by the autistic rage of a thousand s2k fans?

Died when it spooled, the victim of adding torque to a Honda.
