Dear Marc,
I think the problem you are having is that you have one of those planes with the engine on the front and the little wing in the back, our conventional plane has the engine in the back =)
But in your case if you have the same manifold you are halfway there as most wastegates turn the exaust 90 degrees so if you put a 3" U-bend on the outlet of the turbine facing rearwards and a 2" 90
degree bend on the bottom of the wastegate facing rearwards and combine the two as a two into one header you should be fine, all my pipes have to point the other way around. You would have to have
slip joints due to different sized/length pipes with different heating cycles, I think it may be simpest to just have two seperate pipes?
