can i use two wastegates to avoid boost creep
well im almost done with my set up and im going to be running a internaly watgated t3 turbo on my d15 j spec, but im scared of geting boost creep from the stock waste gate, and i recently found a cheap 40 mm tial knock of that i want to use, but since i dont trust either one i want to use both so if one fails the other will back it up and i wont go boom couse i wanted to go cheap. My question to you is can it be done, and no dont tell me to buy the real thing im only gonna bost around 7-8 psi and i dont have the money to buy the right thing.
that's what im probably going to do,since im thinking no one has ever done this and the knock off waste gate is very affordable so ill see what happens. i just need to start installing my stuff, I've had this set up in my room for around 4 months know and im too lazy to install this stuff because of the welding an taping of things.

I've seen two external wastegates used in pretty extreeme appliacations, but never an internal and external used together....
Why are you so worried about boost creep? It's not that big of a deal. You are not going to see much creep if any at only 7-8 psi, I wouldn't even worry about it.

well i havent installed the turbo yet, and it isnt a new turbo its a hmt set up so im just scared the wastegate might not work and the first time i boost it will blow, its just for a safety precoution, i dont want to regret it.

Haha... dude, don't waste your money trying to solve problems that aren't even problems yet.
Why are you so worried about the wastegate not working? Most stock turbo cars use internal gates and have no problems. I don't know why you are so concerned about your wastegate failing when you don't even have it on the car yet.
Besides, if you do overboost, just let off the gas. My stock d has spiked up to 14psi when I was working on my boost controller and it didn't do any harm, as long as you let off the gas when your boost gauge shoots up you should be fine.

you worry too damn much, the internal will be fine for those boost levels. just smooth out the wg flapper port, they get stuck open more than they get stuck closed

i know you can run two external wastegates, but i have never seen one internal and one external used before
in your case, you just need one or the other, though

I probably should have been more decisive with my words but what i meant was to have a seperate tube for the wastegate .
