Update BOTTOM of PAGE!

I just bought a used 38mm Tial wastegate, and i get it today. I picked it up just to make sure everythings legit, and I noticed a rattling noise coming inside it. I shake it and can hear something kinda just bouncing around. Is that the spring making that noise? or is it messed up inside...

inputs?

is it the fire ring making noise?

TiAL

probably a set screw that came loose when someone took it apart and didn't re-locktite

had to fix a car with that problem last week, that gets my vote.

i have no idea, its coming from inside and and loosely bouncing around... should i have someone take it apart, or am i ok?

Bring it to someone who is familiar with the wastegates and have them tear it down and see what is loose. Like mentioned above it is proabably a set screw that is banging around.

It is not rocket science so if you are mechanically inclined at all then do it yourself.

Update! My question is, is the "firing ring" and the "valve seat" the same thing? My wastegate never came with the valve seat ring. Is there anywhere i can order this or how to replace it? Anyone have one?
