Question About Wastegates?

[cudvig]

When I shop arond for a new turbo, since I am going external wastegate, should I be looking for one with or without a hole? This has been bugging me for the past couple of days, I originally thought a hole meant internal, but now im not sure.

Depends on where you plan on mounting the external wategate. Holes can be covered with a flange also.

If your wastegate mounts to the exhaust manifold - NO HOLE

If your wastegate mounts to the O2 housing - BIG HOLE
