Just a quick question really. The t3/t4 turbo i got, has a hole in it that the internal wastegate flapper goes over....now im planning on using external wastegate as thats how my manifold is set up. How do you guys go about plugging the hole that the flapper once went over.......

Not sure how many different housing styles there are, but you could probably just use one of these.

its a 5bolt discharge flange, most come just as the picture in the link above, they just block off that hole, in rare cases people will actually buy a flange from me with that hole cut out, then put the waste gate right off it instead of the manifold. if you need that flange email me i have one or two laying around.
