Is a blow off valve just a different name for an external wastegate? And also, do any of the major turbo manufacturers use integrated wastegates in the turbos?
They're totally different. A bov releases pressure from the intake and a wastegate releases exhaust gas so you don't overspin the turbine and to control boost. I think most aftermarket places don't use an internal wastegate.
