Which turbo is best?

Don't worry about feeling stupid; I'm stupid 70% out of the day. Anyhoo, external wastegates are more precise and more responsive. They're also easier to work on and provide slightly less backpressure, IIRC.

Also, internal wastegates CAN be tuned, but you can't tune them below a certain boost pressure. However, they can be tuned up by using a boost controller.
