Internal Wastegate GT3540 Idea!

My mate at Garrett had a 13B with the same turbo on it, and made 380rwhp. For a street application it would be perfect. Mine is actually a internal wastegate version, and I'm looking for a very streetable Gen 1.
I think in your case a GT3540 would be ideal.

Hey guys, great thred!
Hope you don't mind it coming back from the dead (as apposed to statin a new thred). 
It certainly looks like this one could be perfect for a streetable S5 rx7. I've seen a few places (http://www.modyourcar.com.au/product...oducts_id=3658) advertising this turbo with the internal wastegate option.
Now this makes me think, if its internally waste gated and has a T3 flange. What would stop one from using the std S5 exst manifold with a spacer so that the comp doesn't hit the lower intake manifold. I've got a mate that can laser cut me a spacer to go in between the std exaust manifold and the GT35 Exaust housing. That way, you get a great BB turbo thats practically bolt on (would have to probly make a new downpipe/flange with my MIG). No need for aftermarket manifolds, external wastgates or seperate wastgate downpipes. Would look more simple, and would be a bit different to what guys usually do when going to a big single.
The question is, WILL IT WORK? Me thinks theres gotta be a catch
oh, btw, my project is a S5 13b with heavy extend port, dowled, 2mm seals, s6 bearins, balanced, yada yada. Wolf3D, full exaust, Vmount Intercooler, 1600's, S5 turbo with to4e comp, comp wheel, and exst wheel.
