Looking at PET, there are 2 p/ns for that wastegate pipe... with a VIN cut-off. So, I expect the Cup cars had the same pipe as the early turbos. It was probably identified as a weak spot... Maybe cracks were developing at that flange or something, they they updated it to give it more support.

Thanks Bud
You PM was very true and sad.....
It looks like the Escort car has a modified system to allow for quick and easy removal – You could get the wastegate out much faster with that set up. You can see where they shortened the pipe and moved the mounting flange down and rewelded it. The interesting thing is that it would change the wastegate input pipe – what does that look like?
The other folks already answered the where to mount it question.
And the answer to the last question -
You posted that at 11:17pm….all us old folks got back from the earlybird special, took a hit of Geritol and went to bed….hiding from the Robots…

Yes it that flange on the dump tube that I was questioning ....
That picture I found pretty much said it all....
Thanks Chris
I messed around with mine last week. Had to replace the dounut on the waste gate. It's not to bad to reach with a long handled box end or a universal rachet.Will email you will a few other questions pertaining to this
Thanks Jason
I think its just a combination for issues as mentioned. Yes eople are older, and with different responsibilities, and priorities.... and for others, it just doesn't interest them as much ...?
Thanks Curt

I thought as much when I asked Tom and he said his didn't have that flange
Yes it did crack as this one did as well
I couldn't find the flange portion in the PET
Thanks Bud
Or perhaps less support, as the formed bracket would permit more flex than the cast flange, and by moving it onto the WG from teh flange it would allow the WG to move with the pipe as heat built up as opposed to the pipe being rigidly mounted with the WG sitting above the flange?
Please refrain from dragging threads off topic in the technical forums. I mean really.
