i recently converted from a internal wastegate to an external. is there anything i need to do to the internal to stop it from functioning? or should i just leave it?

 

I'm sure people have done this before. some one has got to know what to do.... TIA

 

Bump, because I also want to know.

 

Weld the flapper door shut (assuming you left it in there).

Is that all you need to do to convert a internal wastegae to an external setup?

 

thanks.

EDIT: yes thats all you need to do, other then intall an external wastegate

 

is it a 5 bolt flange with a 3 or 4 bolt section where the downpipe bolt to? thats how my T3 came i had my uncle make me a 5 bolt flange that blocked it off so i didnt have to weld that way i can try and sell the internal wastgate parts...I went external from the beginning, that works real well though....better than welding ****
