aaron if you dont want the ac to work i would take all the ac components out of the vehicle ita alot of eight that will be dead weight. and then you can send them my way because im a fat teenager that sweats alot so i want ac
. and second you hear a blowoff sound when you shift if so def get a hose and connect the line agian because with a stock wastegate your not supposed to let it be heard. and second the wastegates function is to reroute all your excess boost back into the turbo so you dont have boost leak. i dont kow the technical term for it is but the wastegate makes all the boost you leave over to go back into the turbo to give you better boost gains. so i would def put the wastegate back together and yes its a cheap way to have a bov.
and thanx for the appreciation of the replies man. i love talking about the car i love.
