yeah, that weld on the nozzel looks bad, but id be more concerned with the penetration of it (and how longlasting and solid it remains)....
as for the wastegate, welp, you're external, so there is none to be had on the turbine itself. you'll vent via the up-pipe, and either replumb that back into the downpipe (stealthy), or raw and out to atmosphere (quite loud)....
i have heard good things about the UR stuff, but this does seem less than acceptible...
