Not that butt welds won't work but it's recommended from what i've seen to slide the tube through the flange and seam weld it on the face of the flange and then do supporting welds on the outside (not a continuous weld). Of course this would depend on the how the flange is made... like what size it's machined to internally. It looks like you would have had room to do this in the pics.

Might want to do a little port matching on the turbine housing too if you didn't already plan on that.

But anywho... looks pretty good so far.
