Using a greddy cast manifold and a greddy wastegate

Wondering if you guys are all using an adapter/extension in order to get the wastegate relocated further from the manifold. The cooling fins on the greddy 47mm wastegate i'm going to use contact the manifold.

I have been kind of considering shaving some material off of the fins in order to tuck the wastegate right on the manifold.

Thanks!

Meh, my down pipe has quite a bit of room. Enough that I can fit it through the area with a large 3 bolt triangular flange on the bottom end of the DP.
