internal or external

Re:internal or external
 
Doens't matter really.. there are ways to adjust both. Internal will come with the turbo housing, and you can make a manual boost controller for the wastegate, an external you'll have to buy seperatly, and create a place on the manifold for it.

Internal == Cheap and easy
External == More costly, prettier, wider range of tuning (possibly, since most don't like to go into low boost situations.)
