I think that plate's just a support bracket, I don't think it blocks it. I'm unsure of a specific company for the top of the dump, maybe an exhaust shop can make one up for you, though I dunno how costly that'd be.

U can turn the compressor housing to suit where u want it to face loosen off 7 or 8 bolts and slide it around.
Na injectors max out at 7psi So u will lean out.
The waste gate flap can still move freely as this is what the rear vband housing is suited.

86 VL Turbo SL soon to be canary yellow bt1 mock
Mate depending on your car and what your going to use it for, for example my current setup turbo wise is all external low mount and waste gate and dump pipe is 3 inch turbo back, im running 3ta ecu ect with 7 brown top vlt injectors and aftermarket fuel press reg. Im changing my whole setup to near stock so i will be selling my current turbo which has done boost off upto 20+ pound : O dont let friends drive ey. Anyways im selling my turbo and dump pipes and cross over pipe and a low mount manifold soon if your interested.

Currently with the setup on 6psi i flogged a vy manual who was showing off to his buddies and he had a decent sounding exhaust and i had a car load and a blocked cat and my cross over pipe came out off the silicon join and barely hanged on. It seems to like 10-15psi easy only thing is the turbo has some shaft play. Message me via the message system on this site if your interested.

rb's is studded hence he uses nuts.

yours is a V'Band, so u have a matching piece for exhaust side and u get a v.band and tighten it over the 2 ends
if ur unsure on what we r talking about. google it. i prefer v'band so much easier and no stuck studs/nuts.

rb get one like mine or u can get a stock one..
