Re: adjust boost/psi on internal wastegate???
I didn't say to get a new manifold, read the paragraph next time before you respond, you said the exact same thing I said. instead of fabricating the "extra pipe" drill a hole in your manifold (existing) and weld in a wastegate, it would be a hell of a lot easier and would not take up as much space..... 
right now.

you can get a wastegate on ebay for like 40 bucks, and you would have a reliable setup. If you cut the actuator rod it can be dangerous to your engine if not done correctly. You don't want to risk blowing your engine,...do you?

Just dont be retarted and hold it floored on your first try to test the pressure, and your engine wont blow.
