[Darrell Adams]

Can anyone explain what this is?

Forge Dump Piston Ram Dump Valve [ Audi/VW 1.8T ]
http://www.emotiongarage.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=EG&Category_Code=forge

is this the same as the waste-gate?
why would I want to change this, or not change this?  car is presently
chipped.
I know my supercharger, but I'm new to turbos.....


TIA!
