as for my defence, with a yb and in my (little) experience there just isnt a need for them untill you cannot keep a turbo under control with the internal wastegate set up (im talking about turbo's like t4's, you get boost creep)
also the cost invoved in the external wastgate setup, were talking about a road car here i guess, so if its not needed then why bother ?
just my opinion
so, would you use a external wastegate for 400hp ??
depends on how much air volume your thinking of moveing and at what rev range.
