I'm planning on getting a T3 turbo for my teggy. It comes with an internal wastegate. Will this help prevent space in my engine bay? I'm trying not to get rid of my a/c with a turbo upgrade. Most kits you have to take the a/c compressor off because the external wastegate goes in that place. Any opinions or help is appreciated. But getting the turbo with an internal wastegate seemed to be a good option.

yeah if you'll be happy with an internal wastegate. i know most people don't have one, and the results of an external wastegate are much better than an internal one, unless you wanna be sleeper, run low boost and be really sneaky about it...

i dont know where you "heard" that most turbo kits force you to remove A/C, but i can name 5 big name turbo manifold companies that will allow you to retain your a/c and have an external wastegate. in my personal opinion, if you're trying to have an efficient setup, get a tial wastegate. i guess it all depends on how fast you want to go too...

btw: rev-hard, drag, inline-pro, SFP, fmax, and max-rev. whoopsy, that's six.

Will having the right manifold and downpipe prevent me from removing my a/c? I did a little bit more research and that's where some of the issue comes in. I hope I'm on the right track.

yes. there are more a/c manifolds that will allow you to keep a/c out there then the ones that you have to remove a/c. look into the companies that i listed above.
