Default Wastegate elbow question??

Hi, someone told me that if i use the elbow for my rev hard turbo manifold that the wastegate is going to spike and that I can't boost more than 5 lbs... I don't think this is true but I was also wondering if there's any problems using an elbow for the wastegate... any info would help, thanks.

take your wastegate elbow and wack him in the face, hopefully knocking some sense into him.

Yes, you don't get the cool "dimple" in the hood from the wastegate.
