The engine bay gets really small when you start building a manifold like that. Where will the wastegate tie in to the manifold and will its dump tube tie in with the downpipe? Make sure you put a flange in the downpipe where it turns down next to the manifold. I skipped that on the first go-round and it was a major pain to install/remove the downpipe. Adding that flange was a huge help. If you tie the dump tube into the downpipe, a section of stainless "flexible exhaust pipe" can be used to make an expansion joint in the dump tube.
