Default Convertion to external wastegate

Just saw this vid and noticed he's running the same turbo as me with an external waste gate


What's involved in converting to external waste ate on a TD05 18G

You would need to either replace or fabricate your uppipe and downpipe (if using a screamer no need to do the downpipe) so that it has the wastgate pipe so you can fit the EWG .
Then you will need to keep your internal wastegate shut. You can by a bracket that replaces your wategate linkage and that saves you having to weld it shut.
I have seen them on the cobb performance site so I suppose you could either make one or have a look around at buying one.

I honestly don't know if the cost to do is worth what you would gain if any other than more accurate boost control?
