Thread revival from the fucking DEAD

ok car still doesn't run but she is wired and almost there!
So ive come across quite a huge road black in my project, the Driftmotion Turbo manifold I have has the waste-gate being routed to the rear of the engine bay, which in a normal LHD car wouldn't be a problem, my issue is I recently came across a RHD 240sx and fitting the DP, waste-gate dump tube, with the steering shaft being there is most definitely not happening so I came up with 3 options

1, have the wastegate dump tube run into the DP thus when the gate opens its vented into the exhaust and out the rear, which would require more modification of the DP and may possibly cause it not to fit!

2, cut the wasteage routing pipe and re-weld it running forward or downward so that it doesnt conflict with the rack and DP

3 Buy a new exhaust manifold thats RHD friendly? what are some RHD friendly manifolds?

Just trying to gather some insight and direction on what I could do, I have a few pictures to show whats going on down there.

Here perfectly you can see the DP steering shaft and the Dumptube resting on it, yes I can rotate it but where?

ok you guys get the idea so yea, any insight or direction would be helpful!

Thanks Zilvia Bros!
