i did this and my turbo spooled up for the first hour of driving. Now today when I drive the wastegate smacks open and releases before the turbo can spool.

could I have damaged a seal somehow?

the diaphram is fine.....should I have not run it without a spring in the wastegate?

Ummm...yeah it's there for a reason. The spring dictates when the WG opens without it the second any sort of pressure enters it will open.

 

bump. Lets get this thing running right and boosted . Along with my car

 

but it did the same thing when the spring was in 7lbs

 

also the spring is unidirectional right....no top or bottom
