Default Wastegate question

Is the wastegate suppost to be left opened or is it to be sealed shut? My wastegate is opened and it sounds like an exhaust leak on the front (front mount turbo), which is fine for me if that's the way its suppost to be.

It stays shut until the desired boost level is met.

Post your setup including size and brand of gate, hot side and DP plumbing size and your current boost level.
