Certainly, It would be better if it angled in but ultimately it will really depend on how restrictive the exhaust is.

Also, please post more pictures of your setup. Got a buddy that is building a turbo 64 Nova that would love to see how you have it in there.

Closer to the turbine discharge the worse it is too, you are going to be creating alot of turbulence where you don't want it like this

Right now I am using a stock JY 100K long block and am looking for 600rwhp
but will be upgrading to a forged bottom end some day

turbos are precision 6265 with a 3" down pipe the pic I posted is a old one
ive welded up the wastegate pipeing on the one side and the other is all tacked up other wise I would rotate the wastegate and make it a smoother transition

thanks for the help
