Once the turbo compressor aheives the desired boost, the wastegate diaphram pushes open the wastegate. This lets gas bypass the exhaust turbine, so that the compressor can't generate more boost. If you don't have this, (Unless the turbo is quite small, and very accurately sized to the engine) the turbo will continue to generate higher boost levels. This will cause the motor to sh1t itself. Motors with BIG turbo's need to run an external wastegate, to allow enough gas to bypass the exhaust turbine that the boost wont creep up
Yep i see what your saying, If your using a decent size and quality turbo this wouldnt be a problem.
Also you could control boost with a restrictive exhuast i guess.
I would ask.... WHY??
you would def not remove the wastegate to make life harder.
a bonus which could be acheived cheaply would be keeping the wastegate gases seperate from the turbo gases for a couple of feet straight out of the flange.
