Also, there is no extra pressure on the diaphragm while controlling boost on an internal gate but there is extra diaphragm stress on an external gate so maybe its a durability/safety thing?
Makes sense to me, I have no experience with external wastegates. This is the first turbo car I have owned so I've been learning as I go. I hope there is a difference though and the internal setup can reach more than double the springs because I will want to run more than 14psi. We shall see
