All other parts you can half-ass on a turbo, and nothing REALLY bad will happen... but the wastegate causes catastrophy.

LoL... couldn't you just say to make sure the wastegate's vacuum line is CLAMPED on TIGHT...? I mean... tons of cars get by on the stock internal wastegate, and they don't get any cheaper than that. If anything else, make sure your fuel system is going to work. Then when you over-boost at least you don't detonate
