Default bought a new exhaust mani - quick questions inside...

Hey guys.* I ended up biting the bullet and buying a new exhaust manifold.* the one i have currently has seen better days, and has terrible runner length issues...* *(pic below is of when it was new.* it has been re welded since then due to a crack. check out the runners haha)

anyways i wanted a manifold that would increase my flow to the turbo / be easy to install, and after doing some research i found out that this was the mani for me (pics below)

so my question is - since i have an internally wastegated (gt2860rs) is there a way for me to utilize the wastegate attachment that is cast on the manifold?* can i just weld my waste gate shut or something?* any info would be greatly appreciated!

you can take your wastegate off the turbo, or just block off the wastegate flange on the manifold
