wastegate question, need help
edit:
so i got the flapper off and the actuator bracket off but i can't get the flapper arm out.
any idea how to get this bitch out? i've got a dremmel but don't know what to use to grind this ******.
ok so i tried searching and came up with a thumb in my ***
i was going to make a down pipe for my 14b and run an external dump for the wastegate.
can i get rid of the internal wastegate and put an external wastegate inline the dumptube?
like in this pic

can i weld on a flange and put a wastegate in that spot? then have the dumptube coming off the wastegate.
also how would i go about getting rid of the internal wastegate flapper?
sorry for my noobness

yea, some dsm guys do it that way. As for the flapper im not sure since i dont have one in front of me, but some combination of a grinder, maybe a hammer, and some time should do the trick
ok so if i make on i'm gonna have that dump as an elbow so the wastegate don't sit down on the oilpan, but that will work then.
and i'm sure i can grind the flapper out, but bump for a better answer on that.
i guess if i grind out the flapper i can also port it out a little for more flow. would that help

how would i go about filling the wastegate flapper hole? i have a flux core welder so i'm sure i can't weld it shut.
what would be the best way to fill it? i already know jb weld won't work, is there something similar that would work?

no the flapper has to be removed and the holw where the shaft spins in has to be closed
MerkurColin: would the tap and bolt work?
