Tial wastegate forgot to put the Metal ring in HELP>
Yesterday I brang my car to my machanic and they jsut replaced the gasket for my tial wastegate and made it fit right cause there was an exhaust leak. Anyways they did that for free then I drove home sounded weird kinda cool tho. Gassing it driving hard and stuff and was wondering why it sounded like this. THey forgot to put the metal ring thing that seals the wastegate on i guess. 
What damge could this do? And randomly my car started smoking after they did it if I got on it hard.
Thanx

No basically all it is doing is making the WG leak...so it will be laggy and may not devlop full boost.
