    question on my wastegate placement. This is where it is now but I would like to lower it. I put it there to keep the heat away from the top alumni num part of the wastegate. Would it hurt to be lower and expose the top side to more heat?

    I wouldn't worry about lowering it, the under hood, or down pipe heat won't affect it.
