Right now I have been having problems with the internal flapper door. It moves fine and you can move it back and forth but with a 8lb actuator spring on it, it will go to 15 lbs. I took the actuator off to see if that was the problem and it would still boost up to 15 without it. I think the problem is the flapper door cannot keep up with the ammount of flow. What I am curious about is what has anyone done to put an external on. I know you can have the flapper door welded shut but is there a better way, has anyone done somethiny else, or who actually welded the flapper door shut?? I want to get a nice Tial external wastegate and have a pipe with a flange fabricated into the exhaust manifold. External is a lot better than internal, I wont have future problems with holding boost etc. I just want to do it the right way.

Thanks,
