to help control boost, most people port the stock wastegate when they have problems controlling boost or deal with it using other methods

and when people switch to single turbo, the kit usually comes wtih an upgraded wastegate

wastegate is how you control boost on a turbo. You don't want your turbine to boost it's max ALL the time...or you'd end up rebuilding a lot of turbine's...AND engine's.
