Nope .
Some people have talked about running external wastegates with the twins but no one I know of has succeeded.
That's some SERIOUS fab work to do so, and really with a ported wastegate you typically have decent boost control. That's just a lot of work for not a lot of benefit.

Yeah, anything above ~14psi on the stock twins and you're just flogging the air and overspinning the turbos. You're also shortening the life expectancy of the twins by a large margin.
If you want more boost, you don't need a new wastegate to do that. Hell, unplug the wastegate hoses and you'll have more boost than you know what to do with. And a blown engine .

And that's why you want wastegates that can handle more than 18 psi.
