Default Holset HE351 VGT on a 2.3 turbo

I picked up this turbo off a dodge truck for almost nothing. Im sure it will spool but i dont know if i can get the vgt system to work with my stang.

Could i go with an external wastegate and just call it a day or will i have to get this to work?

Im sure you have been over on the turbo ford board before, but just iincase ....

Im assuming that stang and 2.3 turbo would mean the sohc ford 2.3

Im putting one in a 72 pinto. If you are local we should meet up sometime... im near the oceanfront. Im also putting a HE351 on mine but not the VGT variant.

yea im one their when i can, yea i live on south military. do you know of anyone who has made the vgt work? Ive found a guy who used it on a svo but the spent a while workin on it. made full 26 psi of boost at 1800 rpm.

btw: is that a stinger manifold and if it is where did you source it from, isnt there a 6 month wait?
