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?

 

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.

 

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

 

Yea i have the vac line coming off the manifold and is is 1/4

yup

you probably have the vac lines run incorrectly

 

Yo i have the line comming off of the intake manifold and run to the side of the wastegate correction on the top!!!
ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i get the stupid award!!! been doing this for 6 years and never Thanx guys for the help

 

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.

 

silly old man dan. vac line in the wrong place...... shame on you

 

LOL i had a small brain fart that caused a little retardation
