Ok, i've searched already on this topic and checked everything I could (pipes, connectors, vacuum lines) except for one thing! And this has to be the problem, but How do I solve it?

Anyways, I think I'm getting no boost because the little peice of metal that held the old wastegate on the turbo is stuck open but I could close it with my hands but it will come back open again! the wastegate on the turbo was took off before I bought it the turbo (I hope I made myself sound clear and not confuse anyone!)

It seems to be stopping the external wastegate I have from working (turbonetics)

If you want me to desribe some more, just ask and I'll try my best to do so

So, do you mean it used to have an internal wastegate and now you're using an external one?

 

yeppers!

 

Just get a downpipe flange that will cover that hole for the internal wastegate or just weld it shut if your gonna be using the external wastegate.

 

Yeah, what he said. Weld that baby shut.
