    I am going to start my build on my car very soon. What should I do for a wastegate. I plan to run about 20lbs of boost and all I can seem to find is 15psi springs. What wastegate should I get???

    Go external. As for brand, the turbosmart is probably the best in the 38mm class followed by the tial. Also HKS and greddy make decent gates, but more $$$

    Wastegate don't have much to do with if you can control in cab or not.
    The "best"(in my opinion) way to control in cab is with an electronic boost controller. But manual controllers seem to work just fine when inside the vehicle.

    Yeah, my plan is to use just a manual boost control. Can I just use a single port internal wastegate???
