the external wastegate has the little pipe coming off and is used to control the boost on a turbo with no internal gate

1.What does,here is link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

2.You are really don't need this,this is mainly used on Rotated setups,on Standard location you can use,but in my view is waste of money on standard location turbo...

No problem, we all started by asking questions and garnerning knowledge from those in the know

I agree with Jura on a standard position turbo I would not bother but the sound you are looking for is from the screamer pipe.

You could get that by running a seperate pipe from the wastegate on the turbo and vent it to atmosphere.

so i dont need a wastegate then just get a screemer pipe. to get turbo chatter sounds much better than a pump valve. the only reason i was going to have wastgate was because ive got a vf 34 and keep hearing that they suffer with boost creep so would this sort that out or not thanks again

Easier to just the port the wastegate penny and that should cure any boost creep
