The wastegate will be stretched enough to open the unit and release excess pressure.
So, essentially, a wastegate can only slow down your vehicle, but it is used to protect the turbocharger and engine. If you don't regulate the amount of air in your system the engine and turbo will surely be damaged over time, which will dramatically reduce performance. Also, wastegates help maintain an optimum gas/air mixture in your engines combustion chamber, which aids performance. Wastegate sizing is inversely proportionate to the desired level of boost. So if you have a big turbo and want a lot of boost, you buy a smaller wastegate.
