What is the difference between a turbo with internal waste gate and external waste gate? What are the cons and pros? Also does it being water cooled better than not? Anybody?

Thanks

Do some research. Google

External gate is 'better'.

Water cooling doesnt make much if any of a difference on a normal journal bearing turbo and is not needed. On a Ball bearing turbo water cooling is needed.
