Mark the manifold where it needs to be ground.
Grind
the manifold and check for clearence 
Grind the turbo and check for clearence
The compressor housing stock points straight up. Loosen the bolts that
hold it on the back side.
The housing can now be rotated to where ever you want. Gary D. found that
to match the T2 closely you rotate the housing 48 degrees. I chose more
like 60 degrees since I was running custom hoses and wanted it to point
as far forward as possible.WARNING: do not rotate it as far as the picture,
this is more like 90 degrees and it hit the transmission
Drill
the new holes to mount the wastegate bracket. notice that the holes for
60 degrees are just off the stock holes. For 48 degrees the hole will be
right between the two stock holes. 
The mounted bracket clears the intake by only a little bit. Notice the
notch I cut in the bracket about half way up. This was so I could bend
the bracket a bit away from the manifold. 
Here I cut off the 90 degree section from the inlet so was like a T2 inlet.
I then used JB weld to put it back together. If you think this is too ugly
then you could have it aluminum welded. 
Here's
the head and turbo back on the block. Notice right under the turbo is about
3/8" clearence from the transmission. This was enough to slip intercooler
hose and clamp over. 
This is with the inlet on and intlet hose on.
