wastegate dumping. . . been there doing that

[Schwnnbkr1 at aol.com]

    So it's safe to use a blowoff valve only for the wastegate, because it
vents to the exhaust anyway. This bleeds off what could be backpressure then,
but only when you're shifting or slamming the throttle shut? So it's unsafe
to use a blowoff valve  in the intake system, but safe to use it post-turbo
in the exhaust system, got that. Now if the bypass valve vents boost from
post-turbo (cold side) to pre-turbo (at the turbo inlet, during shifts and so
forth) then wouldn't it be best to have a blowoff in the exhaust and a bypass
in the intake, or is that just moronically redundant? (just a radical idea)
