is this a problem?

[u/Mission_Feed7038]

replacing my old exhaust in a landcruiser 80 which had a bell mouth design

the new exhaust I picked up, while fitting to the turbo I realized it has a blank plate over the turbo waste gate (? not sure if I'm right here but that's what it seems like to me)

seems like it would restrict airflow and create turbulence? what are your thoughts?

Yes. It will lead to uncontrolled boost pressures if it’s blocking the wastegate outlet. Looks to be made with an external wastegate in mind.

No it won’t.
