Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) B1 wastegate/oil drain tube

[gottorq33]

I just upgraded to a bigger housing on my B1 I ordered a wastegate it was suppose to be external but got sent a anew setup to try problem is when I put on turbo the actuator is in the way of the oil return tube on the turbo. I was wondering can I cut a section out of the tubing and use hose to go around actuator it would still be on a downward path. I know it is not alot of pressure there but why did they use metal?(heat,durability) I would only cut about 3inches off it what do you guys think I would hate to have to wait for another wastegate as I just wanna be done with this
