If you are worried about boost creep, I would ask Sam and see if they have run their 3" exhaust with the stage 2 internal WG first, it might not be an issue.

Installing the external wastegates would be easy, but then you need to a way to keep the internal wastegate flapper shut. You could rig something together to hold it shut but welding the flapper would be best, GTM welds these shut prior to shipping them. Removing the turbos from the car is a bit of work.
