What is a wastegate?

A wastegate is a boost sensitive actuator that opens and closes a valve that regulates the exhaust gasses passing through your turbo. Without a wastegate, your turbo would simple build boost till redline. All things considered, this is not a good situation. Blown turbos and engines result from too much boost.
