Gates are supposed to see boost, not vacuum.

Check your intercooler piping for leaks. Never run without your boost source hooked to your wastegate. If you overboost...toast.

-check your WG to see if its stuck open
-if its a tial, make sure that the little steel ring is in place (between the flange anf manifold
-check you vacuum lines for leaks
-check that you are hooking up your WG to a reliable boost source

He's using an internally gated turbo fyi. My money is on a leak in the charge pipe.
