Wastegate?

[AdamWawrzyniak]

What is a WASTEGATE? and what does it do? Does every 2g have them?

They are the valves that release built up pressure produce from your turbo. Our cars come stock with internal wastegates mounted to the turbo. They have springs which keep their valves closed but once a boost limit is reached, they open and stop the turbo from building more boost.

And yes, every 2g comes with them from the factory.

thought a BOV was for that -_- .... i am noob

If you are a noob, chances are you need to learn how to search and research terms you don't know. I'll help get you started, but research is a self educating thing.

BOV or better a "diverter valve" or "bypass valve" is used to redirect charged air (compressed air your turbo makes) away from the throttle plate, either back into the intake of the turbo or vent to atmosphere.

You also seem to be a noob to the search feature

A blow off valve (aka diverter valve or bypass valve) vents pressure from the intake piping when you let off the throttle. Otherwise the air will try to flow backwards past the turbo and cause surge.

A wastegate bypasses exhaust gasses around the turbine to control the amount of boost generated by the turbo. Otherwise your boost would continue to climb until something failed.

Only turbocharged DSM's have them. The NT models do not need to vent pressure or regulate a turbine- They have no turbo.

Edit- Lawrence, we seem to be on the same page.

Just an FYI, you'll probably spend very little (if any) time learning about things like a wastegate or BOV. So the best way to get educated in those areas is to read up on your own time.
