internal or external wastegate?!

[DSMinn0vati0ns]

i wanna run a t3/t04e 50 trim turbo, and i was wondering wut would be better.. the waste gate on the manifold or on the o2 pipe?!?!

What type of manifold are you planning on running? Where is the wastegate going to be mounted, on the #1 runner? Both have proven to make lots of power so go with what you want. If it was me I would go with a manifold mounted wastegate but have it colllecting from all 4 runners.

i had my stock manifold ported and i wanted to keep that.. will the t3/to4e 50 trim bolt up to the stock 2g mani?!

It depends where you purchase it from, some will and some wont.

get a new o2 housing with a flange for the external w/dump tube. i got mine from RNR Racing for $250 shipped w/dumb tube all stainless steel. works awesome, no boost creep. it's loud though at WOT.

A T3/T4 turbo will not bolt up to a stock manifold. You will need to get a manifold made to bolt up specifically to a T3/T4. As for WG, I would definitly choose external over internal. The internal WG's used on most 50 trims are alot better than stock at controlling creep, but none will out perform an external gate. I would also recommend dumping off the O2/DP, or any means where your dumping off all 4 cylinders. It will sound much better than dumping off #1 alone (raspy and louder than dumping off all cylinders).

You CAN get t40E turbos that bolt up to stock manifolds.

Look at the turbine housing inlet options, they are Mitsu., T/3, and T/4.
