2006 Chevrolet Silverado Project - Stealth Bomber, Part 1 - Supercharger - Quiet Thunder
To relieve excess manifold pressure, W2W includes this wastegate, which will release inlet pressure at a predetermined boost level. The company also includes an air inlet temperature sensor in the mix, which is used by the computer to adjust the fuel and timing maps, depending on the temperature of the air coming into the engine. The hotter the air, the more chance of pre-ignition occurring, so the computer will automatically compensate. The engine will make less power on hotter days, but it'll also live longer, rather than rattling itself to death. You have to love computers.
