Does it add HP? Does it allow you do add 1-3 extra pounds of boost? Does it do anything else besides make the car louder? I know it stops the car from putting extra boost, but does it do anything else?

This is what I mean ---> https://scontent-b-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/...87007981_n.jpg

 

A wastegate is required for a turbo car so you don't blow it up both the engine and turbo.

A simple google search would have told you that.

Whoops, I meant this orange thingy in this picture.

That's still a wastegate.

 

Can't tell if external wastegate or bov, short simple answer no. Don't waste your money get a tune instead

 

if your inquiring about a LNF specifically then no, the turbo has an internal wastegate on it and there is no point in changing boost pressure if you can add fuel to compensate. our cars are regulated through the ECU if im correct and to change any boost settings just get a tune.

 

That's definitely a wastegate the BOV is in the back right of the picture.

 

Well it makes the car really loud :S

 

trollololol

 

 

thats exactly what I was going to post

 

It's not a blow off valve, it's a waste gate. I'm not talking about letting out boost when you let off the pedal, i'm walking about excess exhaust gas that is let out through a wastegate like this: That black thing on the exhaust manifold. Does it do anything besides make the car louder?

that sound doe

 

External wastegate FTW

 

external wastegates wont yield you any more good results in this car unless you have a big turbo.

that video missed one big thing.... depends on where the maf is located and so forth.
