I'm getting no boost? (might know why)
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

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.
