Of interesting note is how the wastegate system is different than popular aftermarket turbo wastegates. The BMW setup is a "pull closed" wastegate, where it defaults to being open. This is opposite to aftermarket setups where the wastegate is held closed until the pressure transducer is presented with pressure to open it. The BMW system provides safe failure mode operation and improved control resolution over traditional setups.
