Default Will this wastegate placement work properly?

Just curious if this will work ok? I will shorten the straight piece going to the gate itself but I was just curious on whether I should have it connecting to the merge on an angle or if it need to just stub straight out the side.. BTW, I give welding lessons on the side if anyone is interested..

It looks like it should be decent. What size is your gate? If it has trouble keeping boost down you can always move it fairly easily. That looks like the best spot for your x over though
