hello every 1 iam in need of an external waste gate the cheepest 1 i can find, so can turbo my 1000 ute. any help would be great

why do you need and external one?
what engine are you running and what turbo?

yeah what turbo are you running?? Only big turbo's need external wastegating.

Or where the internal one is too small

Waste g ates are deadweight! Take it off and I guarentee your car will be faster, maybe not so long life but definatley faster.

(lol)

yeah don't run a waste gate but if you have a aftermarket ECU then just set the rev limiter lower that way you don't overboost.

(Please don't actually try that, it was my attempt at a joke)

the turbo im using is a KKK K-36 with no internal waste gate, and the motor is a a12. Its ok i cant be stuffed wasting a heap of money on a waste gate so im making my own set up, im making a custom waste gate out of a ball valve so i can fully adjust it.. has any 1 ever see nthis done ???? thank you

Dudes...lets stop the crap...and get terms straight, and start to build a plan.

Wastegate = Mechanism for slowing down turbo speed by diverting engine exhaust gas around the exhaust wheel on the turbo.

Blow off valve = Mechanism for venting compressed intake charge to atmosphere or back to the intake of the turbo. This keeps the speed of the turbo up.
Boost Adjustment valve = valve for bleeding off plenum pressure to make the wastegate actuator work higher in the boost range, resulting in higher boost.

Answer about using a ballvalve..NO WAY. The cost of a ball valve that could cope with 1000degree exhaust temperatures would be difficult to find and not appropriate for the job.

Boost is the ability of a a turbo to push more air than an engine can use. When talking about "turning up the boost" you are effectively allowing the turbo to spin faster.

Get a turbo with an integral wastegate. Finding a cheap external wastegate for that turbo will be almost impossible. (If it is infact a non-integral wastegate model).
