Default wastgate or non-wastgate???

alright i kno ive brought this up b4 but i need to kno a little more bout wastgates and non wastgated turbos b4 i spend a ton of money, i kno that the banks and ats kit is wastgated and the hypermax kit is non wastgated, and i kno that when the idi was factory turboed it had an ATS wastgated turbo in it. the banks sidewinder kit looks like a great deal for all thats in the kit, but ive heard horror stories frome pple who have put banks turbos on there fords. which is better?., a watsgated turbo or non-wastgated. id like facts not opnions if thats possible

wastegated is better for towing, no wastghated will only build boost to a point and stop. u can adjust the wastgate for more boost.
