Never seen that before. Hard to tell but it looks like the slots in the flange are pretty small and may not flow enough.

You would have to calculate the area of each "oval" to determine of that would work.

Looks like it will raise your set 1" plus.
Hard to tell. What's the info on it?
Size etc?

I seen it on ebay- http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-4-Custom-waste-gate-spacer-plate-MADE-IN-USA-NICE-/350716625025?hash=item51a8570081&vxp=mtr
I just never seen a wastgate set up like that before, but thats not saying much... I could live with the 1" rise as long as it works.

If I could get the measurements of the opening- what would be the math to figure it out to see if it would work? Im just building a street only turbo setup so "max effort" is not what Im after...

i doubt that would work very well, tiny openings and it has to make a 90* turn
