The S4 is the only car (plus other 3.0T equipped VW's) that adopts such system. All other SC'd cars, whether they are factory supercharged or not, don't have such system.
Oh for real, no other factory supercharged engines has this type of waste gate system, I thought most of them had some!? So every supercharged engine(except the 3.0t) suffer the same lost of boost at altitude as our ESS cars, I thought this was mainly a problem for centrifugial blower!?
