Blow Off Valve Vs. Wastegate

RE: Blow Off Valve Vs. Wastegate
Ummm... They are NO were close to being the same. A wastegate controls how much exhaust is used to spool the turbo (limiting boost to the spring pressure/feed line) A blow off valve/bypass valve takes the extra boost out when the throttle plate closes to keep the turbo spooled and stopping the back pressurefrom damaging the turbo.
Do a BPV for a stock engine, BOV for a blow through VAM or a MAF system
