Internal wastegate on that turbo IS the actuator which controls the flapper. I'll just assume you meant remove flapper for external wastegate because you did mention you had a 38mm gate. Answer is it depends. If you are using a wastegate off the o2 housing, remove the flapper. If you are utilizing a wastegate off of the manifold, weld the flapper shut or actuator arm closed. Btw that housing is going to be laggy as hell.

I will be welding The flapper shut and running A 38mm on the manifold. Whats makes you Think it Will be laggy? Can you identify that flange?

Whats the bestway to Remove the actuator arm. or should i just Weld the arm in place.

Btw, this is for my starion... and if you had a turbo to donate, i would gladly accept.

I would, I just sold my spare so i had money to finish my build. As far as the 3 bolt turbine housing flange, I know volvo had a few 3 bolt T3 turbos. I guess that was prior to them branching out in a big way into the turbo diesel market. That being said, that isn't the housing I thought it was at first. I have no reason to believe it will be laggy. I have reason to believe you are going to have a hell of a time adapting it to your car, and it might be a waste spending the money to do so when you can get a perfectly good proven turbo for the $$$.

having A custom Tubular manifold made right now for my car and turbo. How Do i cut The Waste gate flapper off?

 

[farley13]

if you dont want to weld it shut you can always make a bracket that holds it shut.... slightly ghetto but ive done it a few times and has worked quite well.

I've never done it myself, but if I was to try it I'd grind the weld off on the end of the flapper shaft where it meets the arm. I think the flapper and shaft would just fall off once the actuator arm is removed
