External wastegates are much larger units designed to withstand high boost levels by using a valve instead of a diaphragm design.

Why is my wastegate not working on my car?
A wastegate is a device mounted internally or external to a vehicle’s turbocharger that ensures the turbocharger does not produce more boost than desired. When boost exceeds the preset target, the wastegate will bleed off any additional boost. A malfunctioning or improperly assembled wastegate can cause a variety of boost issues.
