Internal / External wastegate Apexi turbo
Does the Apexi turbo for the Civics come with an internal or external wastegate?
Also if you have an interal wastegate, but you have a boost controller can you run a greater amount of boost, higher than the stock boost of say... 7psi.
If so, what do you think max boost will be?

Don't know if is internal or external wg, but even if it is internal wg, yes you can run higher boost with a boost controller.

Dumb question ? Or Maybe?
Can you change the interal wastegate to an external wastegate?

It's an internal wg and yes you can change it. You will need to have a wg flange welded on your manifold and depending on how the dp is setup you need to usually just put a pipe from the internal wg location back into the dp.
