Waste gated Turbos a designed for over capacity. This
allows greater boost at lower rpm's for quicker power response. But in
order to not have a over boost situation at higher loads and rpm's the
excess boost is routed around the turbine blades. Which limits the amount
of top end boost. This lowers the risk of engine and turbo damage.
