Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 113145, member: 103"] It's not conceptually the same as what a wastegate does. A gate actually controls the shaft speed and limits the pressure the compressor builds. With either the wheel or ported compressor housing the pressure can still be high, yet the wheel stays stable, in the case of the wheel because the wheel geometry is better suited to higher pressure at lower flow and in the case of the housing because it recirculates enough flow to keep even the more aggressive wheel stable when the engine itself isn't ingesting enough air to keep the wheel stable at the pressure in question.
