We’re using Turbosmart wastegates to bypass the blower. The way it works is there is a diaphragm with a spring, so you use boost pressure to overcome the spring pressure and lift the valve off the seat. Putting valve position indicators on the heads will let the team know how far off the seat the valve is at any time. Of course, this can be modulated to vary the boost needed.

Gale has used Turbosmart Wastegates on projects before and was the subject of an R&D article. If Gale uses it, you know it’s a product you can trust.
