ok, i modded it in two ways. one i won't be able to show you since i'd have to take it off the car. this was just to oblong the bolt holes in the flange to make it clear. hopefully this won't be an issue for you anyway.
the other i can show you, and it was just to cut a notch off the engine side of the flange to allow the wastegate flapper arm to clear the flange. i'll take a pic of that and post it tonite.

I don’t think cyee is talking about having the divorced wastegate tube reintroduced after the flex section, but rather having it enter in a wider section of the down pipe. There by reducing the bottle neck. Isn’t that the reason we wanted the larger diameter down pipe in the first place?

alrighty, as i mentioned, i can't get a pic of what i had to do to the bolt holes since i didn't want to take the pipe off.
but i did snap a crappy cameraphone pic of the notch i had to cut out of the flange to allow WG arm clearance. if i had known my batteries in my real camera were toast i would have recharged them and got a real picture, but this will have to do for now.

You know, like when a vendor has shipped something, it's in transit, and that's pretty much all they can tell you because they aren't the friggin' shipping company?

Just recieved and test fitted mine! Doop... no luck, fitting issue!
unlike what Devin_mac's problem with the wastegate pipe touching Bell housing. Minds never gotten to that point, my greddy exhaust Manifold is in the way of the wastegate pipe, both flanges are 1/2in apart.
Now, waiting for Stephenie from BELL to advice on solution.

^ seems to be just us Greddies having fitment issues. Luckily I'd seen all the chatter online, so I took the sawzall to the Begi flange to make room for the WG arm (I verified on the car that there was interference) and when the pipe insisted on touching the transmission (I removed the stock bracket to make some extra room for the DP too) I wasn't surprised.
