34 mm wastegate nipple durability

[ZigsGSX97]

So i'm just about done installing my new evo III turbo with the 34 mm wastegate flapper upgrade. one problem though....the nipple that comes off of the wastegate runs directly into my injen intake pipe..like right into it. i was thinking about bending the nipple but it doesn't look very durable and might break. Could i leave the nipple unattached to anything and still be fine or do i need to connect it?

that line is whaty you use to control your boost

You should be able to bent it slightly as long as you head it and move it slowly, dont get aggresive with it.

I've had to do that before, just take it slow and don't go crazy
