In 99% of FRSTs it's a flap in the turbo which is opened by the actuator when the boost reaches a certain amount, so you already have one.

In the other 1% it's separate due to problems with the turbo being too large to incorporate an internal one without boost creep problems or suchlike.

Have a look for turbos on http://www.howstuffworks.com
