might be stupid questions about turbine housing

i have bad luck searching it, but i was wondering first, what footprint is our stock turbine housing on our turbos, and secondly, what it would take to get a t3/t4 turbine housing on a stock turbo (s5) and if that would remove the internal wastegate.... thanks in advance

you wanna run an external gate on the fact. manifold...?

1)weld the gate closed
2) bore a hole in the manifold
3) install a VW external w/dump tube

I had this setup on my 87 last summer, no creep and a loud *** dump tube...

My setup is actually for sale in the canadian classifieds - no pics yet though
