You need to disassemble the turbo manifold to have access to the wastegate. Your only option is to port it bigger.

Ok then what is the use of an external wastegate?
Is there a need to have both ? or does it really depend on your set up. |

Cant go stright is correct , ,,if you think the stock set up has two wastegates then you should not give advice. Not to be harsh , but what is wb123 to read as correct .
