Wastegates and blow off valves do two totally different things. A wastegate controls your boost pressure while a blow off valve releases compressed air when throttle shuts. Get whatever wastegate that will give you the psi that you need. Any blow off valve should do what you need it to. Have you seen blow off valves set at different psi?

Re: bov and wastefate
no i havent seen em at a different psi . i know that both wastegate and bov can have two different springs that would put them at different psi's. i didnt know if they had to matched or if it didnt matter.
