The wastegate sits parallel to the turbine housing on the exhaust side of the turbo. It is the device that opens when a certain boost pressure is reached and makes the exhaust gasses bypass the turbo. This in turn means that the turbo will not accelerate any more than it already has and consequently not make any more boost becuase the propellant is bypassing it. As for the BOV, you are right about that one, but in actual fact, you'll find that BOV's are cheaper than wastegates. EG My BOV cost about $360. My Wastegate clocks in at $1250 including the gas regulator. However 'ricey' you may think a BOV is, it actually prolongs the life of your turbo by ensuring that it doesn't spin too hard with a large amount of backpressure. This can be known to turn a turbine shaft into licorice. [Report message to a moderator]
