My VHT painted HF manifold help up good.I sandblasted and wiped it down with acetone then a few coats of paint and it looked so much better.

 

looks nice

i got a newbee question why does everybody love external gates soo much to go through all this trouble, is it for boost spike or ***** and gigles

 

Internal wastegates are a little fincky and not that realaible in the upper psi levels.I have never had much luck with them as boost would always spike a bit etc.They work good for low psi levels but i prefer external as it is solid control and more reliable in my opinion.
