The turbo you mention would work fine and has plenty of scope for improvement.I'm curious does this bolt up to the L20et manifold as i thought they were t3 bolt pattern or has it been modified to suit t4 or is the turbine housing a t3.I have seen a sandwhich plate that bolts to the manifold between the turbo that can have a small external wastegate bolted to it.You can also sometimes weld an adapter for an external wastegate straight onto the manifold just depends on the quality of steel the manifold is made from or weld it straight onto the turbine housing.The new turbosmart 32mm external wastegate retails for around $500 and if you know someone who is an agent for them you can probably pick one up for about $150 less.If the manifold is a t3 pattern then it would probably be easier to get an internal wastegated t3 turbine housine with wastegate and actuator.
