I just got this Garrett T04B turbo but it needs a wastegate and the (for lack of a better word) connector on the hotside to the downpipe but I don't know what wastegate or connector I need to purchase. Any help is appreciated : )

you would have to measure the wastegate flange and or opening to determine what it is. For the turbo ehhh. I was going to say v-band but that doesn't look like one. You might have to get a flange made from exhaust shop. Or bring it to one they might know better.
 
The wastegate looks to be made for a Tial or similar 38mm. As far as the exhaust housing, you wont find one made for it. It would have to be custom. My suggestion is sell the whole setup and change to a bolt on turbo that will bolt to a factory location downpipe and 02 housing. Something like a Holset, 20g, fp turbo setup.

Thanks for the advice : ) I'll see if I can have an affordable exhaust housing made if not I guess I'll have a turbo and manifold for sale :ohdamn:
