New toy in the garage as of last night- need wg recommendation

Picked up a black on tan 94 with glass top last night. Couldnt see much in the dark but i figured with 120k miles. street port motor installed 20k ago and a t78 turbo it would be worth 7k. Anyways the wastegate is missing so its hella loud right now. Never done many mods on previous FD's that are singled. Whats the best way for me to get a wg on there and what kind? Im thinking measure the manifold wg pipe size and look for a tial 38 or maybe a 44 vband style and hook it up to boost with an mbc and set it at 8 psi to start. what do you guys think?

I imagine it has a wastegate, but with a screamer pipe. All you need to do is get someone to plumb that pipe back into the downpipe, correct?

If you are actually missing the waste gate for the T78 kit. (has square 4 bolt flanges onthe manifold and downpipe) let me know and I can sell you one that will bolt on.

I know a thing or two about cars I geuss meant Im def no aem tuner or anything but yeah its missing. I need a wg and wanted to know if my idea was a decent one to start with. I think its vband so in that case what do i measure to find the right wg. And would it be an ok idea to install an mbc from boost to the wg and set it around 8 and drive it. see what happens

Do you know what ECU and fuel system is in the car? I would verify that before you start boosting it.
