It's actually already concave under the two center runners, I mostly just took off the texture from the casting. If I was using the stock exhaust nuts with the built in washer surface it wouldn't have been necessary at all.

I got it all installed last night (still have to tune, wire up gauges, etc., so for now I have the wastegate locked open).
Bad part is that I finally, after 4 weeks of not being able to drive the car, I drove it to work and my radiator sprung a leak, turns out there is a 4 inch wide crack in the upper tank...damn it.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the install:
Custom downpipe with 2 O2 bungs and sealed exhaust wrap:
Close-up of the initial downturn from the turbo:
Fitment of the turbo on the manifold (pay no attention to the accessory belt):
Engine bay after everything was buttoned up:

Yeah, I know all the warnings and I'm gonna take my chances and see what happens. I took the extra precaution of coating the wrap with wrap sealer. I'd like at some point to replace it with a SS downpipe anyway.
