You are supposed to be using the wastegate with the U bend in it. You can turn the wastegate rod with your hand for clearance. Also, the coolant line (if aftermarket) you use the side with the 90* bend in it.

Ok It looks like I hooked the straight end to the turbo coming straight out over the actuator arm towards the strut tower. Then I looped down under towards the engine block If that makes any sense. I have DIF lines.

My wastegate had the bend in it that's why my line fit over the top. I didn't try to turn it though. Worked fine for me the end with the 90 is on the block
