[talon187]

ok i have a somewhat stupid question...ive got a proted 2g manifold and i had a tial 38mm wastegate flange welded on to it im not 100% sure but if i put it on it might hit the radator by almost nothing... my question is this if i put the the dump tube on the valuve part of the gate and the open part on the manifold will it work ok? if i do this i will not have any room problems thanks for the input and help guys

Your post isn't very clear as to what you are trying to do, but if i am correct then you are wanting to put it on backwards? NO it won't work.

No you cant you will kill your wastegate. The exhaust pressure and heat will go up the valve guide and melt/tear the diaphragm and it will not operate.
