I am trying to understand the necessity of wastegates. I know they allow exhaust to bypass the turbo at certain boost levels (via a boost controller), but wouldn't an advancement in blow-of-valve technology be more effective ?? Shouldn't a wastegateless turbo maintain higher rpm and therefore have better throttle response ?? Or is there a point where you can have too much exhaust going thru a turbo and over spin it ?? Or would forcing all the exhaust thru a turbo restrict the engine in the high rpms ??
I am currently running a BOVless single turbo setup which has been argued to death already...
