Im thinking about putting a fitting on my compressor housing for my external wastegate, so it would be like the fitting on a internally gated turbo.. Does this seem like a good idea? I havent seen that many people do it.

so is the signal source supposed to be from between turbo and throttle body and not from the manifold? if thats the case i need to reconfigure my setup. Now that i think about it, it would make much more sense seeing that boost wants to push it open and when i tee off of the manifold i get vacuum and not boost when the throttle is closed.

Definately use the comp. housing. It is the best and closest source for the wastegate signal. If you want you can even run stainless braid with AN ends and make it look baller status.
