Default External wastegate w/ hf manifold

Has anyone done this before seems like it should work but I dont have a flange in hand to see if it would actually work.

If you have a turbo that originally uses a internal wastegate. You can make a flange/elbow that uses the original hole.

why wouldnt you just grind or some other way remove the flapper all together for better flow? welding it closed will just create more blockage...

Mine is done like Leed's car except I used the flange hole for the internal wastegate. All you do is Weld the wastegate flapper OPEN and then make some piping from the hole in the exhaust flange to where you want to put the wastegate.
