external wastegate on an HF manifold
did a search, couldn't quite find what I wanted.
I have a turbo, no internal wastegate. had plans for a manifold, now I'm changing my overall plan and just want a cheap manifold.
has anyone successfully used an externally wastegated turbo on an HF manifold? how much work was it etc? it will be a 38mm TiAL wastegate. how will I do it?

this auction is always on ebay. the manifold is equal lenth tubular stainless. flanges are for: D-series, T3, and TiAL 35mm WG. they're going for $150 NR.

Re:external wastegate on an HF manifold
any good welder would tell you to ---- off if you asked them to put mild steel on a cast manifold. chances of it cracking due to heat changes are far too great.
you can build a log manifold for about $35-40
with that your possibilities are endless as to mounting and adding stuff, just cut & weld since it's all mild steel or all stainless, whichever route you go (stainless will be more expensive.)
there are nicer manifolds than the ssautochrome one out there, i've read too many horror stories about them.
****CRACK!***
not good.
anyhow, if you're looking for budget & function go with a log style, the gains you'll get over a log with an equal length are not as much as you'd expect, the log manifolds i've built have actually flowed just as nice as the factory manifold.
