Does my Wastegate Valve look normal???
When looking through the dump side you can see a gap.. Is this normal when you have the wastegate off without having the vacuum hooked up to it... Here's some pics to describe what i'm talking about...

the metal ring should compress down when you tighten the wastegate to the manifold to seal off the valve.
put something flat over the ring and tap it down and see if it will go down all the way and if there is still a gap or not

from what i remember with my 35mm when i had it , it was just like that off the top og my head. it doesnt matter though, once you put the ring in and seat it on the manifold, its gonna push the plunger up more anyway. as long as it seals on the ring, youll be fine . and i can tell you from the look of the gap it will seal fine on the ring.

35/38, same **** to me . its got the 35mm flange on it.
but i was referring to when i had a 35mm and i took it off to inspect it the one time i saw mine was like that. i havent looked at my 40mm to see if its the same . i dunno , i was just adding detail to the story. lol

I remember seeing a wastegate that does not shut when it's not hooked up.
I believe its this TurboSmart Brand.
Saw that thing in person at last year's Nopi Nationals, I questioned the guy at the booth and he said it works fine.

I have that WaisteGate, I did't install it though, it is a very nice gate, sounds nice to, A boost controller is recommended with them, cause other wise you have to order a spring that i heard is a bitch to install!

sounds real nice
i dont understand what purpose a wastegate has if it doesnt shut all the way..its just leaking off gas that would help spool the turbo
ill stick with my nice and simple tial
