Waste Gate?

[TheGryme]

Since I'm relatively new to owning a turbo'd diesel, I have a question.
Does the LBZ have a waste gate on it somewhere?
My only experience with turbos is from years ago when I worked at a shop that installed turbos on gas trucks and big RV's.
They used waste gates.....so did the race vehicles I helped with.
How do our trucks deal with excess boost?

Thanks!

No wastegate. Variable vane turbo.

I believe the LB7 is the only engine with a wastegate.

no wastegate on your truck. boost is controlled with the vanes in the turbo via the ecm
