Looks like the start of a great project! Have you checked out ATP's manifold? It looks like they have an external wastegate option.

garrett t3 turbo, .42 cold, .48 hot side. I only want 10-15 psi of boost and a moderate 180-200 hp out of it.
I will be buying 42lb injectors, tial 38mm wastegate, tial 50mm BOV, ebay intercooler, and I'm still looking for a manifold. obviously the downpipe and the charge pipes will be done at my friend's shop.Other than kinetic's manifold, are there any others that have the flange for an external wastegate? preferably cheaper?

zornig makes a real nice log manifold for not much money, look him up at racecraft fabricationalso, i think that turbo is pretty darn small...but not bad for the price i suppose. since youll have a t3 flange on your manifold you can always upgrade later...

well, its only an 8v
and I couldn't find a log manifold for 8v applications listed. I'll send him an email though.

i think hell pretty much make you whatever you want...

well, money has been short and will be for the next few months. I will be getting my stuff slowly but will allow me to make things right.I got my ebay intercooler a week ago and since my car pulls to the side when I press the throttle (ball joint) I decided to start on the intercooler mounting. since the car is going to be sitting for at least a week.
heres a pic of the ebay intercooler
So I already have turbo and intercooler.
next thing on the list is 440 injectors and oil supply.
i'll update as soon as I finish the intercooler mounting.

you wont make close to 200whp with that turbo on anything less than 15+ psi

nobody said anything about whp. turbo might not be very efficient but it will make a difference

Where are you going to weld that external wastegate flange? I am looking to convert mine to external.

That will fit? Weld around the outside?

I love aba turbos. I wish for an abaT on 8-10psi as a daily.maybe one day

you gotta put the turbo on it first and see where your exhaust and intake piping will be that way you know where to put the wastegate. you don't want to get it done and find out its going to be in the way.

Yea def a good idea, so I should probably buy a flange and a wastegate. I already have this setup in my mk2 except with a g60 block and mk2 head. Mine has a T3 Super 60 with an internal wastegate on the side and I hate it. I need something better.Thanks!

that turbo is a bit small but it will work, i have an aba turbo and my god does it go at 16 psi it spins the tires in 3rd with a dif! build looks good!

Intercooled, 440's, good turbo, c2 programming?... you should be able to run 20lbs of boost.
