replace? if you have an open exhaust then your boost will creep. That is the only reason people do any wastegate mods on a stock turbo. Either port the wastegate of get a differnet turbo. A 3 in with no cat will give you boost creep so base your wastegate decision of your exhaust/power goals.

the wastegate on the stock turbo is built into the turbo, it can't be replaced but it can be modified.
