EFR 7670 and new manifold

I had this new manifold made for my new turbo, and I'm a bit concerned about something.

First of all, I trust the guy that made it, he has a reputable race shop here and his work is beautiful. But something is bugging me about this manifold and I need to know if I'm just worrying about nothing.

I'm not sure how it turned out this way, I'm guessing because the rear runner was done first, but the turbo is angled to where the front of it is towards the passenger side. That doesn't really bother me because I don't fear that it will hurt the turbo. However, it's the way it angles down towards the front that worries me. It's only 5 degrees, but still...I'm afraid even that slight angle will have adverse affects on the life of the turbo. I've been talking to the guy at Full Race that sold the turbo to me, but I don't think he's getting what I'm saying. Here are a couple pics to explain.
