Default internal and external wastegates

can you take an internal wastegate off of a turbo and use an external wastegate with said turbo
and can you do the opposite, put internal gate on turbo without one?

you can seal an internal wg shut and use an external, but im pretty sure you cant make an external into an internal.

It probably doesn't matter, the only way to be sure is to put it on and test it. If it is a super cheap wg it just might come **** ed up from the factory.

I am not sure how to tell that, but I guess you would just have to know with what it came with. lol. I would buy a .5 bar spring from tial and put it in just to be sure.
