Default Help on manifold

Ok, well this past month I've been piecing together parts for my turbokit. I'm not having that good luck so far, but I think I can fix things.

First, I bought a T3/T4 turbo off ebay for $250 shipped. Only to get a T3 turbo. It's from a Nissan, and it has an A/R of .48, and .60 compressor I believe. People told me to bolt it up anyway. Still working with the seller to get some money back.

Second, I got a boost gauge but I didnt' realize it wasn't my size. It's the 2-5/8, not the 2-1/16 i wanted

Third, I just got my manifold. The guy told me it was an FMAX manifold. I got it for $250 shipped which isn't too bad. On the FMAX website, there is a spot for an external wastegate. On the manifold I got, it's quite plain. My Turbo does not have an internal wastegate.

What are my options at this point?

get someone you know who has a torch and a welder to cut a hole for external wastegate and weld a flange on.

milling machine would work better but the torch would work.
