FP RED W/Ext Wastegate?
I was wondering if anyone with a red has mated it with an external wastegate setup? And if possible has feedback/ pics of setup. I am currently looking to upgrade to the red but have read a couple threads where other red setups were experiencing lower octane boost creep and was wondering if an external wastegate setup would be function w the red. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I'd def run a red/green/20g with an external setup. Dsm guys have been doing it for years and its proven. I would talk to FP to see if they can weld the w/g flapper shut and then buy a mani with an external w/g. If fp won't weld it then find a good local welder to do it shouldn't cost to much.

Not low OCTANE boost creep, low BOOST boost creep. The red doesn't really shine untill 25 psi + Below that (where some people have reported boost creep) there is really no sence in buying this turbo. Under 25 psi the Green is still the way to go imho. Don't get me wrong, I love my Red, but it doesn't make sence if you are not running 30 psi and up.

I'm just curious how you are going to do an external wastegate off the O2 housing while still keeping the scrolls divided up until the wastegate valve face.

Not everybody wants to run 25+ PSI daily (particularly if all you have is 91 octane available) but still want to be able to run at the track with a turbo that will make some real power on high boost and better gas.
