I said this ^^ If you weld the internally gated exhaust housing in any way to bypass the internal flapper, it's then no longer an internally gated housing. If you just weld a pipe around the internal wastegate port and flapper section, then your internal gate can vent to wherever you want, but it's almost entirely pointless If you buy a specific housing that has separate outlets for both the dump and wastegate, then this is almost as pointless as the previous method. It's entirely possible that the ebay jobby is the part that is leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an easy one to eliminate, especially if you have the correct size dump already. Cut a hole in the exhaust housing MCM style Then you can mount and run an external gate with screamer, all while holding boost better than ever before haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
