oops! wrong wastegate
i thought that since i got a hks cast manifold that if i bought the hks racing wastegate it fit... NOPE! does anybody know a wastegate that would fit on this hks t4 cast manifold?!? would it be possible to weld a vband flange to the wastegate and manifold to relieve the problem? or just get another wastegate? open to trades 
o and its a hks 50mm s/s racing wastegate bnib

Make a small adapter pipe with both Mates to the appropriate flanges.
You could Weld a Flange on,but that would be Wrecking the originality of the part.The adapter would allow you to change out later on.
To get an Idea of what I am talking about ..look up SS autochrome on Ebay.they have Crappy manifolds that have a Pipe that extends from the manifold to the Wastegate.

This picture shows what is being talked about and how I did it on my setup. I am running a greddy cast manifold and figured (like you) my greddy wastegate would bolt up. Unfortunately the cooling fins on the outter edge of the wastegate contact the manifold. So I made an extension pipe as shown here.
