Any chance that the little ding near the cam cover bolt will restrict flow?  It appears the whole manifold has been purposely bent so the cheapy china turbo will clear the engine mounts.  So angry right now!

I would be hard pressed to say anyone on this planet would notice the difference it would make to have it be not dented.

My only concern is that the heat will be more at that spot.
