I bet it will work just fine the way it is. what is the lowest boost your shooting for? your builder is going to have to make a new merge or patch that one. $$$ and time. that gate and pipe are huge. it is going to vent pressure, it might not get you down to 5.psi but i bet it will regulate down to 10-12 psi.

it will work. my last turbo kit had a wastegate a foot from the merge on one pipe. the only problem youll have is that you wont be able to run as low a boost number as one with proper location as youre missing out on some flow

I spent the better part of a week trying to get my wastegate and dump pipe where I wanted it. Had to move the rest of my pipes to accomodate it. Hope you get it figured out in a way that you are happy with, hard to fit 10 lbs of crap into a 5 lb bag sometimes

when the gate opens you are likely going to have a balance issue in the motor since one side will be feeding turbo and the other side will be out to atmosphere (less pressure)
