Greetings everyone,

I知 looking for your input about how to build a custom turbo kit with an external waste gate.
I致e been doing some research lately and I知 still learning. I want to emulate something like this;
59642
I知 thinking of using a 13g turbo from a Subaru, 38mm wastegate, with this manifold;
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273 280467159

If I知 understanding this right, I need to change the oem turbo housing for something similar to this;
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F222 788641879
And then find the right adapters/piping for the wastegate/downpipe?

My question is how would you guys make a similar wastegate/downpipe setup as this;59643
***EDIT***
Ok so I figured I can either change the housing or keep the flap open and just couple with a 5 bolt to v-band adapter... Which way is better? I知 thinking changing the housing will save a bit of space.

I want to build a reliable DD pushing 8psi, and I really want the external wastegate setup.

Looking forward to hear what you guys think.
Thanks
