Should be just fine. Seen alot of setups including mine running that way with good success. They say run it y-ed with exhaust flow. If your gate is to small like 38mm you might have a little spike problem "MAYBE". I'm no expert so maybe someone with more knowledge could step in.

Looking good by the way

I don't think dumping it into the "DOWNPIPE" is gonna affect the area where he has the wastegate mounted.

The Tial guy will tell you it won't work. It's not optimal but for 9lbs my money is on it working fine.

I'd suggest that the dp re-entry point be as far down the pipe as possible....

Does returning to the exhaust make that much difference?? If so, i will gladly run mine and do an open dump if need be.

There is nothing wrong with your plans. And boost control should be no problem if the w/g is suitably sized..

Dont listen to whoever told you otherwise

You wont get the sound of an exhaust leak on boost if you return it to the downpipe. That makes it worth it in my book.
