rpw turbo

I am fitting a stage 2 RPW turbo kit and had the turbo every which way and it doesn't fit. It hits the water pipe. No sweat. I ordered a 35 MM tial .. wastegate and I'll run that. I'll weld it onto the manifold they sent. Even if i moved the turbo to where the actuator would fit ... there were no mounting holes ( i really dont want to drill into my turbo housing ) and the arm still hits the water pipe. If the actuator doesnt sit right it will hang open and cause you to leak off boost. Which at 6-9 lbs .. you dont want that to happen. I think its best to go tial. So here is the question, should I plum it back into my exhaust or leave it as a dump? RPW has been very helpful in answering my questions but second oppinions are good to have. Thanks for your thoughts ahead of time.

Just dump it. I am running the RRM kit and I have just a dump tube. It is a little louder, but it will be a lot easier for you just to let it dump. Just my 2 cents.
