Default External Wastegate From Junkyard

As the title states. what type of cars came with external wastegates from the junkyard?

I'm going to one soon and I allowed to just Poke around. Just wondering if I'll find anything useful?

Check out audi's but they suck at getting off and are set at 14psi . especially if you live in a snowbelt area and the bolts are rusted to ---- like mine were. My local yard have two audi's with ext wg's but I got one and after that I don't even want to try to get the other one. Maybe for the right price I would try to get it off but even still it's iffy. Someone just did a write up on modding the audi wg.

Just remember, when going to a junkyard, 2 of the most important tools you can take are a can of PB Blaster and a propane torch.

I thought the most imoprtant tools were A BIG ------- HAMMER, bolt chissel, and a hack saw. Some people like to say it's the Tool Box itself, just depends if they check at the door.
