- Fri Apr 24, 2009 3:05 pm #112975 i bought a new t3/t4 turbo yesterday and its equipped with an internal wastegate. i dont know if i should save some money and keep the internal wastegate? or should i buy an external. how much boost can i run witht he internal? any extra info? thanks

- Fri Apr 24, 2009 3:16 pm #112976 internal waste gates are usually adjustable, up to ~ 10psi.
using a simple manual boost controller you could go higher.

Fast
Cheap
Reliable
