    wastegate loose? normal?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just looking for a quick response..

    In the process of putting a testpipe on my car i wanted to check out the turbo .. The turbine itself felt fine, the wastegate in the turbo felt kind of loose, it moved around a little bit. No idea if this is normal. I have some cellphone pics but probably wont show anything...

    Hopefully this is normal and im just paranoid

    thanks

    Are you having any boost related issues or did you just notice it upon inspecting it?
