hmmm...I'm not too sure. I know that you can go from an internal to external wastegate, but not sure if you can go the other way.
go to www.homemadeturbo.com and hit up one of the guys there. Jeff (AbaZ) is a member of a local honda site and the owner of the turbo site and he knows his stuff.

i have heard somewhere that external wastegates are much better than internal ones. i don't remember why though, this is just what i heard, so correct me if i'm wrong.

Ok thanks,my plan was instead of buying a wastegate to get welded on my manifold to just buy an internally charged turbo.Thanks
