Default Is this wastage normal?

Should there be a small gap when wastegate is fully closed? Here’s a couple pics.
so when the car is idling there is exhaust coming out of the dump tube. I’m having hard time building boost I’m wondering if this is my problem.



this is a turbo smart hyper 45

You're missing what's called the "fire ring". I don't see that they sell it separately on their website, may want to contact TurboSmart and see if you can get one.
