Wastegate Is Off......
wasnt planning on getting a new WG as of yet there has got to be something going on, i mean it works as smooth as can be when i hook a pump to it. and the reason its not going back to rob just yet is due to the fact of the 75 and hour charge. guess i got to work some overtime to make up for it. lol

how would i know if the diaphargm is bad? could a pin hole cause it to allow boost to build like that. and just curious does the exaust cause the gate to open or is it the vac line from the turbo to the gate that forces it to open
live in north eastern ky and nobody around here knows anything about turbos, so im f'd. now if you were to blow in either vent should you be able to blow through it. running out of ideas. new waste gate looking nice
HKS standard WG. i just talked to hks and they said that a leaking diapragm can cause you to over boost. and that i needed to use a vacuum line filter. dont know for sure what do you guys think

Verdad Gallardo also, if you were to suck on the side barb to try to create vacume it wont hold suction. if you do the same to the bottom barb it will hold as much "suction" as you can put on it. now remember the wastegate is off of the car
just get another WG already!!! 
wanna buy mine? $200 + ship...if it works you keep it..if you find out that its not the problem..then i will buy it back.
nothing to loose but everything to gain.
turbonetics racegate, i got 335 miles on it...exactly.
nothing wrong with it..i just got another that looks prettier

new question, with the spring out of the waste gate:
should you be able to hole your finger over the side barb and push the valve down and it come back up?
if you put your finger on the bottom port the valve will come back up when you let go of it.
pressure bleeds off while holding the side port with your finger and letting the top port excape to atmosphere
just some food for thought

that drive to qmp is about 3.5 hours and then have to change the wg there and try it out. now submerged the wg in water and had no leaks when trying to push on the valve. none from where the diaphragm is at. now when i hookd a hose to the side port and blew on it air seeped up through the valve stem and out the top of it a little. all this was done without the spring in. not sure if it means anything or not but it appears that its not leaking
you should get some leakage around the valve stem, that's normal.
You should NOT get any leakage between the two ports, that's why the diaphram is there. You should be able to pull vac on the top port, that will pull the valve open. It should not leak down if the diaphram is intact and sealed properly in the hat of the WG.

i would like to personally thank everybody who has put in their input on my problems. as of right now the whole car is for sale. i am tired of messing with it and it just keeps pissing me off. i will get the kit back on and try to get it working. i just want to get my money back and break even. pm me if interested and i will throw you a price
