What do you think about this idea?
BEGI manifold to a turbo adapter that bends 90 degrees downwards so turbo is mounted under instead of a side mount.
I'd like to be externally gated and I think it would make DP fab easier.
I've seen this on Ebay but not with a bend:

Its hard to find those things even T25 flanged, let alone with a bend in it.
Youre better off sending your manifold to BEGiu and having them put an EWG flange on it like they do.

As long as its properly pre-heated you can weld to cast pretty successfully.
I understand though. I was in the same boat with the same manifold and likely the same poor excuse for boost control you get with an IWG.

Isn't the Begi side-mount the manifold that the track crew most often has to re-torque loosening bolts at the turbo-mani mating surface? I wouldn't think adding extra distance between the head and the turbo on this manifold would be a great idea, not to mention the extra failure points argument.
I vote get a proper bottom-mount with a well-placed EWG flange.
