A small number of cars have factory external gates.

Any HP will know 90% of external gates are coupled with a screamer. That turbo posted has an aftermarket manifold, they should have just put it onthere out of sight!

XF Falcon <put funny sh*t here> Member 3,365 Member For: 18y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: Perth, NOR Posted 09/05/11 04:02 PM Share Posted 09/05/11 04:02 PM (edited) External wastegates are legal so long as they go back into the exhaust and not a screamer type setup.my ETM kit has the wastegate off the rear housing, and it works well, plus its tucked away out of sight too so you can't see it. Its better than the 90 degree angle shown in the first pic.Here is mine prior to fitting.
