what should i do

i have to rebuild my motor i cant afford the gt35r kit. i orderd a fp red but i cancelled it beacuse it was with an internal wastegate. i thought to my self if i am going to rebuild my motor i am going to go all out but i just cant buy the kit. i have greddy front mount Helix up pipe and down pipe 800cc PE injectors Greddy E0-1 boost controller and UTEC. my question is should i buy the fp red with out an internal wastegate and then put an tail external wastegate or is it a better turbo out there for me i am looking for at least 450 whp

thank you

Why are you so caught up on the internal wastegate issue? If you don't have the money to completely rebuild your block anyway then you shouldn't be running so much boost that an external wastegate is that vital. Is it an EJ20 or 25?

In all honesty I would get the Green or a 20G. With a rebuilt motor you can get that easy with supporting mods. You could get alot more with a bigger turbo but I'd rather have the quick spool up. I say get the green but if you want a wastegate that bad you could consider a PE1820.

Here are some quick and reputable places to check out some options:
