JUST WANTED TO KNOW THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS HKS WAISTGATE

No. The wastegate for the stockers is "internal" to the turbos. If you are talking about an aftermarket "Blow off valve", the thing that makes that cool sound. Don't waste your money, they work fine and they are free. You can make the stock BOV's sound much louder by simply venting them to the engine bay.

I don't see why you couldn't. i'm guessing oyu would have to be non sequential, and would have room for the valve were the TCA was.

The waste gate is build in to the turbo not added on. All is not lost, you can port the hole to 1.24 inches or put the prespool door in the wastegate position. The prespool door is 1/10 inch bigger, and open the hole even bigger.Or you can make a new door even bigger, and port the hole to 1.38 with a good amount of door to hole coverage (seal) .

And why are you contemplating buying a new wastegate? What makes you think you need one?

Boost controllers only control the wastegate. If the wastegate is already doing what it can, then there is nothing else a boost controller can do. Therefore, if you are experiencing "boost creep", the wastegate is already maxed out. Your only options are to:

1. Port the wastegate
2. Add restriction to the exhaust

In simple, no. If you are experiencing boost creep, a boost controller will not control it. However, a boost controller will control "boost spikes".
