wastegate problem?
a couple friends of mine drove my car around to see why i was losing performance and i got the same answers... "your wastegate is staying open"....which makes sense because my boost gauge jumps to 16psi at WOT but then instantly goes down to 9 - 10psi.....if it IS the wastegate causing this performance drop, how could i test to see if it is staying open? and how could i fix this problem?
thanks for the help

Re: wastegate problem?
No such problem. Do you have aftermarket boost control? Odds are its set to 10 psi and the 16 psi is a spike. Pull on the WG actuator rod by hand, it should be pretty tough to move. If it is the actuator is fine. Bypass any MBC/EBC you have by runing a line straight from the manifold to the WGA. You should end up with spring pressure, some spike is normal on small turbos. What sise turbo is this anyway? More details.
