Waste gates and dump valves are different things.

All turbo's have a wastegate to control the amount of boost they run......a DV is an aftermarket item believed to help protect the turbo and also alleged to help with spool up times in between changes etc.

In reality though unless you are running a bit of a monster they really aren't needed, plus the fact they are considered now
