you can get a turbo with an external wastegate mount. i wouldnt even bother trying to get an external with that manifold though.

Damn. I've seen the one that was welded on, but I never thought about this. I think I'll mill my spare on the bridgeport this week and try it out.

It should make using the STD with AC easier - 3" DP w/o making new AC brackets.
