My wastegate has failed, or failed looooong ago. It never ends with my car. Probably won't make it next weekend!

Haha I suppose i'll put it back on for now. Not like i'm hitting 15PSI anyway. No BOV either... need to weld a new flange on somewhere.

No functioning/opening wastegate means mega boost mode! 22PSI BOOM! But I'll be civil. I don't rev over 5k.

No wastegate at all means a big hole in my exhaust and damage to my ears.

My BOV isn't even on the piping (I redid the entire intercooler). Nothing to remove. I see what you're saying though, meaning a hole in my intake so that boost will escape.
