Default Kraken Top Mount 2560R Wastegate actuator tube routing issue

Helping a friend try to get his 94 Miata running with a kraken top Mount kit, does anyone have a photo of their Wastegate showing how their turbo is clocked? He's convinced that the tubing for the Wastegate won't fit, I think it may rub a bit but should work.

Tubing for it is lost so we're going to the auto parts store to pick some up for this.

Photos for context

Very unorthodox routing. Mine goes right under the shelf like the FM routing.

You could cut off 5mm of that nipple and zip tie the line onto it. Shouldn't blow off or leak and if it does, you can clearly see

You have the smaller piping to accommodate AC. You can clock the turbo a little bit which will slightly change the angle of the pipe blocking the nipple on the wastegate just enough to run the line without it kinking. You could also just get a aftermarket wastegate.

I second the aftermarket actuator. Im running this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/262721117850. Its a non-diaphragm style. It works, although the spring pressures seem to be incorrect. I think im running the 12psi spring at the moment and im getting a peak of 8psi with it tapering down to 6.

Before buying aftermarket actuators, just slap that thing on and test how it works. There is a 50:50 chance it will work like this or with VERY little bending or cutting

Best pic I have right now, I can take a better picture when I get home if you want, arrow is the direction of the compressor outlet. But this is an idea of how mine is clocked. Not sure that this setup would accommodate your charge piping, but it works for me.
