We went with an internal gate because Garrett just released it being internally gated. It saved money too. Dont have to figure out where to put an external, no piping for a dump off the wastegate, and didnt have to plumb that pipe back into the downpipe. So less work too. As far as the BOV positioning. It had to go there because of the MAF system on the car.

Wow this will be useful. No power until 5500 rpm, and then no traction until 8192 rpm
No offense but I don't see any use for this? Other than awesome numbers on a dyno. What use will this have? This is totally awesome that someone is doing something like this, I just don't see any use in it. Flame me if you want, I could honestly care less.

Very impressive and clean build indeed! I'm sure she'll be badass when all is said and done. My only question is what do you plan on doing to beef up the transmission? Our tranny's are weak and I highly doubt they'll take 500-600whp of abuse!
Oh, internally wastegated turbos make fabrication so much easier. As long as the internal gate does it's job right, there is no reason why you can't run one. Works great on my small 16g that's on my integra!

As a point of comparison, consider our GT4088R-equipped 2.0 2003 Sunfire. Still streetable, even with a turbo considerably larger than the GT35R, with an effective usable powerband from 5000-9000 RPM. Joe's car will develop usable boost in the 3000 RPM range, and the gentle onset of the GT35R will actually enhance street traction, with the maximum available power on the street optimized by the boost controller system's numerous power level settings.
I've done considerable development of FWD vehicles with high power, and Joe's car will represent a fabulous mixture of street capability with brutal dragstrip and dyno capability. Hey, we can't let the Honda boys have all the fun now, can we? 10 and 11 second steet Ecotecs are possible too!

As for the transaxles...This is an area I don't agree with, and I feel it's been fed more by rumor and preventable abuse than actual limitations of the transmission. Consider:
With the F27 Getrag, we've put down over a hundred 11- and 12-second passes on a single unit, on cars with slicks, with zero issues. The F35 in the Cobalt is rated for even more torque. So what's up? Essentially, the failures you are being exposed to are attributable to preventable abuse involving excessive wheelspin and wheelhop antics. Sudden, momentary shock loads during those episodes can far exceed what we are capable of producing in continuous torque, even at these elevated power levels.
We faced a similar culture of doubt when we first began turbocharging Neon's back in the late 1990's. We were told of poor fellows with broken axles and transmissions in 13 and 14 second cars; why, the pundits said, of COURSE we would have nothing but problems at higher power levels! We proceeded to run as quick as 11's on stock axles before requiring upgrades, and took the stock gearboxes all the way to the high NINE second range with zero internal issues.
And I am here to tell you...the Getrag is considerably more robust internally than those Neon transaxles were! That's not mere opinion...I have been inside both units, and bring a considerable amount of driveline experience to the table. The Getrag is an awesome piece. I've built an 800-HP car around one based upon that confidence!
