Well i just got my manifold back after almost 3 weeks and now i finally get it bolted up and the 44MM wastegate is open at idle.
Can anyone explain this to me ? What would cause this?

did you put the fire ring in the wastegate before you put it on?

blinddan

yea the fire ring is in it and seems to be in working order.

Sounds right to me. I neglected the fire ring once and mine would open at idle.

Is manifold vacuum being applied to the diaphragm of the wastegate? That could unseat the valve during idle.

blinddan

yea the car idles fine its just when it idles the wastegate opens up.

the vaccum source is only for the spring to open, even with the vac source diconnected u should not have exhaust comin out from the wastegate.
