Default 2010 Camaro Wastegate on crossover pipe

Was just curious if anyone has ran a waste-gate on just the crossover pipe (2 1/2) vs the merge to the turbo ,,i have looked it up with some really mixed views ,and the posts are old, was just curious if its not a good idea ,,packaging is tight and would really help me out...hot side is 3 in and about 3 1/2 to 4 feet total after the crossover to a 76mm turbo divided t4 flange with a 1.15 a/r 77mm ex. wheel ,waste-gate is 50mm,, looking for 9psi and about 600whp thanks !!

We have built 100's of truck kits with the gate in the crossover.
And our 2010 kit uses the gate in the crossover.
It all comes down to how you plumb the exhaust.

Nevermind seen your website ! looks great ! and the position doesnt really have a direction for airflow, so if it works like that then i dont see why it would not work if it was on a bend ! Thanks very much, been searching for an image and couldnt find anything .. thanks again ! i have a 9lb spring do you have any problems with it running over your spring rate ?

Springs are not exact.
They are just a point of measure.
I tell all customers to start low and see.
install a 3lb spring and see what you get.

If you install 3 and get 6. Not a big issue. Just your build with that spring and gate yields that psi.
But it needs to hold the boost psi. No climbing.

Ok i gotcha ! All of my gates have performed just like they were supposed to but this one bank gate stuff is new to me so ill try a 5# spring first and bring the 9# also at the dyno just in case ,,thanks again ! appreciate it !
