MO waste gate questions.

ok i know all of u hate ebay stuff. but i have never had any trouble with any of it. i got the xspower turbo manifold and i got a 50mm waste gate to bolt to it. the question i am having is has anyone else ever used there manifold and had the waste gate sorta be right in the way of the exhaust? here is a picture of the manifold and waste gate on the car. the turbo is a t04b with a 3 inch down pipe. it looks as if the the 3 inch is gonna be sitting right on the waste gate. should i just buy a 2" 45 and point it down some more?

Build an extension pipe to move the wastegate, or build your downpipe to avoid the wastegate.

If you cut the extension pipe shorter and reweld it back up you might have room. it depends how you are putting your downpipe together and whether you want to recirculate the wastegate or not.
