i think this might solve the clearance problem. The one on the right is a new wastegate from tial. Its alot shorter. The only thing I'm not sure of is if it uses the same size v-band flange as the v44.
Description from Tial:
TiAL will be replacing the F38 wastegate with the new MV-S wastegate. Small was on our mind when we developed this new ultra compact wastegate. It stands only 3.7" in height vs the current F38 which is 4.85" Other features include 3 bottom pressure ports for easy install and a top mount pressure port that can be rotated 6 different ways. No more bolts or gaskets and all configurations are leaded fuel safe. we also altered the way the diaphragm sits so it is virtually impossible to pinch. A late fall release date is scheduled.
