Internal or external wastegate?

What are some of the cons of going with an internal wastegate? I assume the only benefits are maybe cost and a little less work?

My internal wastegate worked fine for about 10 psi (creeped a little), but over that it's pretty sketchy. I would go with an external if you plan on running s decent amount of boost.

... and lots of junkyard turbo's come with internal wg's already attached. Free WG, cheaper manifold, good for low boost.

Re:Internal or external wastegate?

the way i see it, people with big turbos and low boost would need an external more, not just people running big boost. When you need to dump off more of the exhaust to control a big turbo, you need a big wg, internal or external. To be honest i think i would rather have an internal with an enlarged hole/flappper like a lot of dsm guys use
