Wastegate placement... is this any good?
Room is at a premium. This is what they came up with. I wanted the gate in that area to start with. Is the pipe off the collector going to cause me any issues?

That is not the best wastegate location off of the manifold. Ideally, you would like to put the wastegate in the center of the collector to reduce boost creep. As you have it now, you will have problems with your wastegate holding boost steady.

not ideal at all, you will want it down closer to the turbo flange to get exhaust gas from all 4 cylinders

the pipe coming off is fine, but it needs to originate more toward the collector, instead of off just the one runner. looks like you'll have plenty of room to do so.
