Exclamation Wastegate actuator?

Hey guys, I have a question about wastegate's. I have a couple of parts my pop's left when he passed on for the GN, one of them including an HKS Wastegate actuator with the piping and all. Does anyone have one in their car? I believe that he wanted this put on his car but how are they? Is it a necessity? What's it good for? Where to place it? I've seen those imports with blow off valves- are they somewhat the same thing? I'm still learning alot about this car that I didn't bother to pay much attention too when I was younger and kicking myself for it.
Would love any guidance.
Thanks.

I believe that is just an HKS external wastegate. You can use'em, but they are typically for larger turbos. Send some pics.

Yeah, it's an external wastegate actuator, I'll send a pic of it when I get back. Still trying to settle the score with the muffler shop today.

Pictures are worth....4 words. Yep, thats a BOV.

Lots of discussion on this site on whether these things belong on a TR.

I throw my vote in as :no
