If your planning on running higher than factory boost you will need to do something about it. A good actuator for your waste gate will be fine, or a boost controller. Dont forget to get it tuned if you run more boost than factory also. I've got one lying about that has a brass welch plug tapped in to it. Could be an idea for those that can't weld and want an easy quick fix. Therefore from the outside it looks factory but it's not functional.
