If that's not what you were refering to, then give some cliff notes on that topic. Everyone here is too lazy to read that much.
wait i didnt really read this thread.. what going on ??

Connecting your wastegate pre-throttle is for women and homosexuals. It slows spool time and limits part throttle boost. Yes, it does prevent part throttle compressor surge, but so does not driving like an idiot and trying to make 20psi at 30% throttle.
