Time to weld in the waste gate tube on my header. Should I put it close to the turbo flange?

Or upstream on an individual tube?

After they merge would give you best control.

I’ll keep it close to the turbo flange then. Thanks for the link.

Welded! Time for the exhaust pipe and some header wrap.

Interesting. Looks like I’ll have to be selective with the header wrap and make some shielding too.
