nothing wrong with internal wastegate unless you plan on pushing big number.

Exactly, on such low boost 8.5psi an Internal Gate works well.

Of course, that's the popular opinion but i had some issues with my interal wastegate on my garret t25 in my civic. Daily i ran ~8-9lbs and after about 10,000 miles on the turbo the flapper started sticking and spiking over 13lbs from time to time. Thats only why i say the internal wastegate was killing it for me. Just from that experience. Plus an external just looks niiiiice, haha.

Must have bad luck. Internal gates are run on almost all factory turbo cars, there is nothing wrong with them. Its just you will never see a high HP car with an internal gate. For the tC on stock internals, it is A OK.

Heres before the manifold turned purpleish blue...lol

I heard that if you put some alcohol before you install the manifold or header, you should not experiment the purpleish color, does this correct?

the alcohol just quenchs your thirst after the install.

nah jk thats to get the finger prints or any grease/oil that would stain the manifold/header

LoL.... the downpipe and turbo look super-similiar...

I only complimented them, if the setup is similiar "looking" to my Lovely ZPIs!

LoL.... I'm awaiting the release of ZPI's EL Manifold as well, which should be a PnP upgrade of their setup... just bolt on the new manifold and Good to go with more HP potential!

Anyways... let's get back on topic with more pics!
