Default Wastegate hood clearance question

I am currently piecing together a turbo kit for my 00 DB8, and I need to order my wastegate. I have a revard manifold, and I would like to know which wastegate will clear the hood and the block/head. I would rather not have to buy the 90 degree elbow, as that just adds to the cost.

I am currently looking at the Tial 38mm and the Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate, as
they are the same price, but the Turbonetics comes with three springs. I am open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks
