Disconnecting the wastegate rod will leave the internal wastegate port open, and you won't make any boost. You could just disconnect the vaccuum line to your internal wastegate and weld it shut.

Most people replace the flange on their downpipe with a blockoff flange that covers the internal wastegate port completely.

wont blocking off the wastegate port on the downpipe effect boost? cant you just remove the whole unit, wastegate rod and the flapper valve? then weld the rod hole shut?

It won't affect boost, that port is only used when the wastegate opens. Yes I already said that you can weld the hold shut also.
