external WG on stock turbo?

Hi guys

I am curious that if I can install the external WG on stock turbo?
Or... should I just port the stock WG?
Which is easier?
Thanks!

Just port it to 1.24 inches and you'll be very happy!

No, because the wastegate is internal on the stock turbos so yeah, port it.

Do you know how a turbo syst. works? You need to do a little research before you ask questions. It sounds like you do not know enough about turbo syst. to be messing around with wastegates.
And to answer your question, no you could not add an external wastegate. For one thing you cannot just remove the internal one, and for another, where would you weld an external one onto the stock exh. manifold?
Think McFly, think...

Adding an external wastegate would require a LOT of very careful fabrication and welding work. Stick with porting the wastegate.
