2 fixes to this problem, you can build yourself a wastegate elbow using 3 35mm flanges and a 90deg pipe, or you can see where the wastegate is rubbing on the hood and hope that its on the skeleton or the supports on the hood. If this is the case just cut a pace of the metal off where its rubbing at and your good to go.
