How does it mount onto the manifold? I am guessing you just haven't drilled the wastegate yet for mounting.

Re: RTM waste gate!!

Watch out for heat transfer from the hot side melting your diaphragm on the cool side. Most wastegates neck down in the middle to minimize heat transfer. Yours does not neck down as much, which could lead to problems. Cool project for sure , but do be careful with it. You might want to run a pop-off valve to protect your engine if the wastegate fails.
