Good to see Garrett finally have a new turbine on a GT35 frame. Still no EFR though!! 1

I used 2x 40mm bends off each side of the collector then made a 40mm 2into1 merge into the gate. Basically how your holding it is how 6boost do it but they put it at 90* to the merge which is obviously terrible for flow. Facing it like you have is a lot better to promote the gas flow into it but still may lead to trouble if each divided half isn't big enough.

I may go that way but also looking for simplest solution fab wise! I planned to angle mine is it's basically inline with the entry angle from the inner two primaries on each side (does that makes sense??) You'll also be happy to know this has happened- and it's not going back on. 1

Proper split pulse though so either twin gate or split gate off the collector, and not just a single pipe?
