Wastegates n BOV's (What the MM mean, Whats the dif)
Just looking into external wastegates and BOV's. They have like 38mm 42 mm 50mm
And stuff like that just wonderrin what the difference is and which would be better for which setup. I plan to run 14-16psi if that matters.
Let me know
Thanks

I know a BOV lets out the boost when you let off the throttle when boost has already been built up.
Dont really know what a wastegate does though.
Is on better than the other? External (always mounted on the manifold right?) or internally inside the turbo
Why would you need a 38mm wastegate as opposed to a 44mm

wastegates control boost by allowing exhaust to bypass the turbo, thus creating less boost. The bigger the wastegate, the better it is going to be able to control a big turbo on a high powered motor

Go internal wastegate (which will probably come on the turbo you get) and spend the money on an electronic boost controller. 
You don't need all that fancy external wastegate stuff until you have $10,000 for the motor.
