But dont forget you have a d17. And the internal wastegate can run as much PSI as your boost controler( if you have one ) will allow you to. For most boost applications the internal will be more the enough.

I have seen some applications that change the exhaust housing on the turbo so it allows you to run an ext wg. I think the internal gate its self is welded shut, not exaclty lure. But like the others have said play it the cost efficient way.

i dont remember what the non-EL SF manifolds look like, Im using an SF EL manifold and just welded a flange near the collector. but i guess if your manifold wont accomodate a flange, youd have to get a new one and probably a new down pipe too.
