How Turbocharger Wastegates Work - Internal vs External PLUS New Wastegates from Garrett!

We talk about the differences between internal and external wastegates, how they work, installation considerations and we take a look at the internal components. We also check out the new line of wastegates from Garrett Motion who supplied us with a cool cutaway example of their new GVW - Garrett Vent Wastegate for our demonstration!
