External gate is the best. Find a used ATR and upgrade the gate on it. I have one- rock steady boost. Just put a RJC on my T to try it out for the stock appearing look and sure enough, I'm messing around with controlling the boost again like the old days. On my GN I have a stock elbow with a Kirban 2 piece 3" pipe that fits on the stock elbow. This is the most economical upgrade, but be prepared to take it on and off a few times to fit it. Also need to use the exhaust sealer stuff so it doesn't leak.
