hey mate. believe it or not people do this in australia as a way to wind the boost up. we use to do it with our mates jap import starion(4G63 single cam like our aus spec) so we could run 15PSI. thats a small problem with internal wastegates. on our 2.6 astron(conquest in the states) engine we have factory external wastegates from the sigma turbo. post some pics up of your quests.
