If you look at their turbine housing, the wastegate passage would have to be completely redesigned from their current setup to accomodate an internal setup & from a sellers point of veiw I'm sure its not worth the cost to redisign the housing & the whole reason for using their housing is to get max performance out of the setup, slapping an internal gate on the housing is a step backwards. I would imagine their train of though is if someone is looking for max performance out of their setup, they are going to want to run an external WG. And like was said above if you compare your std. Mitsu bolt-on setup with an external WG, your right in the same ballpark but the FP is still a much better flowing housing. Comparing an internal setup vs an external is like comparing apples to oranges.
As for their SS turbine housing, I would imagine they use a std. Garrett 50 trim center section so their housing should bolt right on to the other turbo's out there, such as PTE, etc.
