BEFORE I DO THIS LOOK. can i cut it like the yellow dashed line or MUST i grind it like the blue and work slowly till it fits nicely? DOES coolent run through these webs? Is there a chance to F the motor and ruin the project "right here"?

I even gave you the link to a review written about that manifold.
great looking turbo manifold, for great price, but one design flaw the wastegate flange is too close to the head, you have to shave a little off your block or used a elbow to fit tial wastegates, but still have problems with the dumptude and some application wasetgate hits the hood, but still a great manifold, I recomend it to all who will go the extra to get proper fitment

AH YES I REMEMBER NOW. I think if it doesnt fit after all ill just elbow the WG to the drivers side. Must i have a dump tube? If so can i drop it low or MUST it tie into the down pipe?

Yea, I was talking about welding an elbow onto the manifold to make the wastegate fit under the hood.
Yes, you will need to cut some of the block webbing to have the turbo fit.
You don't HAVE to have a dump tube, but when you go to get inspected, i'm sure they won't like having exhaust gases dumped straight into the atmosphere
OT: Are you on UBRF, your name sounds familiar.

People compare having an open dump tube as listening to a raped gorilla
