How do you guys do it? Take out the flapper or weld the flapper shut? Mig it or tig it? With what rod?
Pre heat and mig I'm thinking?
 
The easiest way would be to tack weld the flapper arm on the outside of the housing. That way its easily reversible. Mig is just fine and leave the flapper in there.

This is what I did to a friends 50trim wastegate arm. That way if you ever want to go back to internal gate or sell the turbo all you have to do is grind the small weld off.
 
Any pics guys? And you guys did it with the mig? PReheat?
 
tack weld the lever on the outside that's the way i did it on my fp green .
