I've been searching for a while now and haven't found any real info on this. I'm wondering how one would go about changing an internally gated turbo (older saab garret/airesearch) to work with an external wastegate. Would I just take off the flap at the downpipe and weld the hole shut? I'm a newb at understanding how wastegates work.
That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the help!
My turbo was internally gated, but I took off the exhaust housing and got a 5 bolt flange off ebay to weld my downpipe to.
Awesome. Now all I'm waiting for is the 2200 manifold from RD Fabs (If they ever finish it).
