Default Dual 38mm wastegate placement

Per advice I was given I bought 2 38mm wastegates for my setup.

I am trying to figure out the best way I can go about mounting them.

The plan at this point is to use 1 passenger side c6 manifold on the passenger side like this (this is in order to clear the a/c compressor which mounts down low on the passenger side):


Then use one forward facing passenger side truck mainfold on the driver side like this:


So with that said the rest of the piping I plan to do like this (excuse the terrible photoshop job, just found this picture of a s400 mounted in a fox and modified it to how I plan to mine):


Will this work with the passenger wastegate being a decent distance away from the merge? Would it be better to just try to cram them both above the 5" d/p? Also, if I plan to run the w/g's into atmosphere do I need to add any pipe to direct the exhaust gasses or can I just vent them out toward the ground, etc.?

Thanks.

I like your first two pics!

On page 4 of this pdf you can see a diagram that shows you what really matters about waste gate placement. I would move the gates to the outside of the bend so that if you draw a straight line through the pipe coming off of the exhaust manifold it would hit the face of the valve on the gate directly.
