I just bought a used wastegate and I'm trying to check to see if its working properly. I put compressed air into the side nipple and the valve lifts, but i can hear air leaking through body I'm assuming around shaft of valve. Is this normal?

 

What kind of wastegate is it? It sounds like the diaphragm might be torn.

 

when I bought it the guy said it was a turbosmart, but it looks like a tial copy

If its a copy your probably **** out of luck. :*(

 

compressed air is about 150 psi ...i wonder why it doesnt like 150 psi

 

yea, you only need 20 or 30 to test it
