T3/T4 Question

[Mr2SlOw...]

I recently purchased a new t3/t4 turbo my my mr2 . I plan on making a custom turbo kit with a little help of the ebay parts and some welding. I got it mostly planned out but I have 2 questions . I dont know the correct terminology but there is a hole on the exhaust side for the internal wastegate but I will be using and external. Will that be a problem? ..... The next question is what to do with water hoses that cool the turbo. The new turbo doesnt have the "water jackets" that our normal ct26 has. I no there wont be a problem with the new turbo cuz ill jus schedule more frequent oil changes but the problem is what should i do with the water lines after i got the new turbo in? I no its not a big deal I jus need some ideas thrown at me cuz i would like to get this project started.

??? Does the turbo you bought have an internal wastegate currently, or does it just have a dump hole/pipe for it? either way you would need to plug that hole to keep exhaust gasses from bypassing the turbine, or use it for the external wastegate.

[Mr2SlOw...]

No the turbo does not currently come with an internal wastegate but I dont plan on using one anyway. It does have the hole for it though. I dont think i should even bother covering it up because it wont interfere.
