I REALLY like the idea of having the wastegate flange on the housing :-)

The location of the wastegate isn't going to "pull" more air from cyl's 2 and 3. Each runner pulses the same amount theoretically, this can change based on cyl health. But you are forcing air out of that port. Air travels in the path of least resistance, so it's going to want to go out of the port regardless of where it's mounted. The same amount of air is going to leave once the gate opens and stays open to bleed off the manifold pressure. There's really a minimal chance of "leaning" out a cyl because too much air is coming out of the wastegate port. You just won't make boost.
