How about a new diverter valve. It's probably a good idea. Please search.

no wastegate needed. Look into getting an upgraded DV - diverter valve, or BPV - bypass valve (both are same thing)

y not a BOV?i like the sound of them and stuff...i just dont like the idea of air pressure getting re-used...i would rather spend the money for an FMIC and get alot of fresh new air in my car and get rid of exess air pressure and plus it sounds cool as hell
