if that is the case you have a ripped diaphragm, and yes it will cause an overboost issue.

Re: (desiromeo812)

those turbo are prone to cause boost spike, thats the major downside of an internal wastegate

plug up hole.. get new manifold and enter the world of externally gated setups....

or if the kit is somewhat new... call greddy and bitch them out for product failure and get a new wastegate...... lolz
