Either where you marked the pipes or back one bend towards the engine. Looks sharp!

Dam...you sir have it made. ha ha

As far as wastegates I would place them off at an angle in the direction of flow at those locations..or at a bend, put them off the outside radius. the flow will favor the outside radius when it has to turn and you can control boost great when they are placed in this location. The only thing I found is you get exhaust flow driving stright into the gate valve when placed straight off the end of the bend. the result was not being able to get really high boost pressure until I put pressure to the dome of the wastegate. Before that though, a 10psi spring only allowed me to hit about 17psi before the gate opened itself with no line going to the gate. The plus side is if the line ever falls off, you have built in boost cut off ha ha

Default Porting Snail Housings

Hi, forty years I had the same question with my Pantera TT kit.
The customers wanted trunk space so I placed the Waste Gates onto the Snail.

That placement was at the END of the Scroll, the closest small area at the Exducer Tip.

What was found :

That higher gas speed mounting area allow for a smaller valve AND reduced E-MAP.

The power increase was great when compared to you chosen location.

I would be able to provide more information.
I used one of Bob Kellers waste gate kits (unassembled) and made my own steel base.
I have stock to this day.

Not sure how much room.ill have to try that with the bumper tucks really close to everything. I maybe could ger away with one side but the charge pipe would probably block the other side. Inteecooler goes right in the middle
