External Turbo Smart Wastegate mounted to custom SS flange.  The Header had to modified to allow for placement of the WG.  Since Kooks makes this in house for use with an internal WG, I oppted to do the WG placement with the help of Dave Algie after test fitting the header in the car.  Not pictured is the Titanium shield to protect the motor mount from the excessive heat of the WG.
