    can you destroy a wastegate by runing the vac lines wrong?- well what happend the gizzmo was not controlling boost no matter what setting 20lbs half throttle...so i switched the lines to the correct position i believe, out from solenoid to top of wastegate vacuum line and the out from wastegate a tee into the engine line and the line to in on solenoid this line i connected to the middle vac line

    it boosted perfectly and then my wastegate just started to stay open? im lost

    to the best of my knowledge no.
    Then again, I'm an idiot, but it's a quick answer.
