I feel as if you would experience boost creep. Just buy a waste gate flange and weld it on. Should be cheaper than a pre-made one.

Stop being cheap, do it right the 1st time and you will find you actually save money from doing it 2x.

I think it would be cheaper to just have the flange welded to the pipe

It would cost a lot more with that setup.
