I hope so too. A fellow builder down my hangar row is a professional welder by trade. He has started the modifications and from what I can tell (while not versed in welding) looks really good. He
has also expressed the same issues independantly of my bringing it up which does add some assurance.
Yes, I am using an external wastegate coming off the manifold. It too will be secured to the engine to help hold the weight. I have read about yours on a number of occasions.
I love my Dynon even though I have not flown. My big decision is do I want to "upgrade" to the new SkyView system. I gotta admit the current box is not bad...but the new one looks sweet if it lives up to the potential.
As to dating....I have only been doing it about 30 years.....seems I would understand it better. DOH!

>I am having the exhaust manifold that you recommended, the one you use on your turbo, modified to fit better.
I didn't modify mine. I hope the modifications are done well and don't create a failure mode.
Be sure to support the turbo independently of the manifold. I made a bracket that attaches it to the smog pump mount above. I presume you're planning on an external waste-gate. The details of mine are in my web page. I connected the vacuum to the wrong end
first time around - ez to do. Also, I had to replace the spring in the waste-gate with a lighter one to get it to release at a reasonable pressure (for our use). By default they're made for much higher boost levels than we want.
>Any other words of insight?
Can't help you with the dating thing - sorry. Mine's a keeper. I haven't "dated" for 15 years :)
The Kitten is, finally, in a hangar and ready to go except that I still can't get the my second smog pump to create vacuum. I'm thinking Dynon at this stage. I haven't had a chance to fly her since the trip down from CT.
Keep plugging away (at the airplane).
Regards,
John

Sorry to hear that Chris....
most women I may date are not likely to be too keen on an infant that is mine
I have two words for you. French Aupair!
