Default whats all need for a turbo set up?

my question is what is all need for a turbo setup. i want to do a twin turbo on my 70 c-10 and i know all the basic stuff but what about blow off valves and waste gates? why do they get installed in the whole system? and what do they do? i think wastegates control how much boost is allowed into the motor and blow off valves give the boost somewhere to go during shifts but i am not sure. also, getting oil to the turbos, how is that done? i just need more info on how turbo systems are set up before i jump into fabricating a set up for my truck. thanks for any help

You really need to use the search button, there are about ten million threads that cover all of this stuff!
