The actuator on the one you want to buy must be installed on Header (external WG), your has internal WG.

External WG is more acurate, so if you have some spare $ i recomend you to invest in it Just Weld the flange on your header and get the External WG.

where on the exhaust manifold would you recomend welding the ext. wg? i am having some problems with my internal and didnt know that you could change it that easily. does an ext wg simply hook up to the turbo via vac. tube, like the int. wg?

i would like to know this as well. that turbo calculator place must be out of business because their email doesnt work, nor does their check out. i cant find the same turbo anywhere. the only one i found with the same specs is the external wastegate turbo on ebay. i might just go that route but dont know how i would hook up an external wastegate, so if anyone has any pictures of a similar setup that would be great.
