Internal wastegate fitment on roated 16g?

[kpoage20]

Car is a 91 gsx, was putting on a vrspeed factory front mount on the car. Due to the jpipe hitting the tubular manifold, I had to rotate the compressor housing. My question is, my wastegate isn't lining up like it should, so is there anyway around this, or do I have to get an external wastegate setup?

You would be better off going with an evo3 exhaust manifold so that the j pipe will clear than trying to go with an external wastgate. You will spend quite a bit more trying to go with the external wastegate than just getting the correct manifold.

Yup, lose the tubular manifold. You'll thank us later when it doesn't crack, keeps engine bay temps under control, and performs exactly the same.

Thanks for the input. Ive been looking at some fp manifolds or maybe an evo one. The tubular manifold was on the car when I got it, and just had more important things to fix since then. I may pick up a new manifold this weekend. Rotating the compressor housing threw everything out of line, and went through pure hell to get everthing back together.

Even a good ported 2g manifold would be leaps and bounds better than that tubular.
