Wastegate fitment issue...
I have a 38mm Wastegate I am putting on a Meutek manifold that is bolted to a B16A3... my problem is that the waste gate does not clear part of the head and I think I need a 38mm elbow/relocator piping for it to fit.... does anyone know where I can find one for this particular setup? Or have another solution for it to fit?

Re: Wastegate fitment issue...
I have a guy here in town that is going to do all my piping (exhaust, Downpipe, and IC piping) for $275... maybe I can get him to do the elbow for my WG. If not, I'll probably wind up hitting spoolin' performance up for tha' job... So, the 2 extra flanges in the WG picture are for making an elbow then? :/

its interesting that you say that cuz I have a dumptube and it came w/ an elbow adapter but I'm not sure what it could be for... It's my first turbo project and this is all new to me so...

Make sure the guy making your downpipe is doing this mandrel. When I was new to this game, I asked some shops and they said they would all do a downpipe for me for a decent price, and at the very end they said it would be a crush bent downpipe. I said SEE YA! I went to my tuner and for like 490 bucks I got a SS downpipe and a dumptube that suited me perfectly.
