If you have a decent dealership they will match online prices. Go in with prices from GMPARTSDIRECT.com and see what they can do.

What happens if you don’t release the turbocharger?

What happens when a wastegate is open on a turbocharger?

Since a wastegate regulates the maximum boost, the boost suffers when the wastegate remains open. When the wastegate remains open for longer than it should, the exhaust gases bypass the turbine wheel. The gases then exit through the exhaust, resulting in no boost pressure and drastically reducing the engine’s power.
