An external wastegate is used with larger turbochargers that do not have an
internal wastegate..like a T3 or T4 garret turbocharger. You need a standard stock manifold for use with a T25,T28.,14b,16g type bolt on turbo. The external wastegate is what controls boost pressure from the turbo by letting the exhaust pressure in the exhaust manifold out bypassing the turbo. The wastegate essentially acts as a BOV. It is what keeps you from spooling your turbo too much and blowing the turbo. -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
