when u apply compress air into the wastegate, the valve lifts up and u can hear a little amount of air leaking through the valve guide, is that normal or is it not suppose to leak at all??

Re: wastegate question
You will hear a certain amount. If the seal was air tight the valve would seize. Turbosmart has the tightest tolerences without having operation issues. It takes more precise machining but for a better quality product its worth the little added price.
What gate are you using?
