Bored and got curious. Has anyone here converted their Houston style internal gated DP to external?
Don't want this be a thread discussion as to whether or not it's necessary. I'd like to see what some people have done to convert theirs. The more pictures the better.
 
I have seen a few wastegates pre-turbo. A friend of mine had a Terry Houston style DP and he had the external wastegate at the crossover pipe.
 
It's possible to do this and have seen it done but selling the TH pipe which will pull top dollar and having a fab shop start a new one will result in the cleanest/best clearing setup. No two cars are the same. I advise replacing engine/trans mounts before getting this work done.
