I thought I recognised it, sure it used to be parked near a garage around the corner from me, possibly a mechanic there had it.

I think I would clean it up and re bodge it to keep it going while you make a new one.
God knows why you would need an external waste gate at the power.

You want a 3mm thick one and some kind of support bracket / hanger.
