After taking tial wastegate apart, I've discovered the following:

Vacuum fitting was screwed in too far and rubbed against the diaphram, causing it tears all around. So be carefull when installing fittings in similar products or you'll end up like me.

I also noticed surface marks, will this cause any problems?

 

Shitty man

 

I think I tore mine while trying to take it apart, were would you find a replacement diphram

 

What damage does this cause? Boost spike? Or no boost at all?

 

boost spike and inconsisten boost spike depending on how you apply the thotlle, higher spike if downshift then going full throttle in same gear.

in my case it started with a small tear, i understand why my setup started to spike a little way back and kept increasing as time went by, i couldn't drive the car normal when it started being very inconstent and discovered all these tears.

 

i'd say any tial dealer should be able to get replacement diaphragm

 

this is good to know

 

Did you use both of the washers annd the supplied banjo bolt? This is interesting.

 

was it a 38mm wastegate?

I dont think he used the provided fitting. A pic of his fitting would be nice

 

it was a 35mm wastegate (its same thing except 38mm ports), i used a differnet (brass) fitting, unfortunatelly it was few mm longer and punctured the diaphram during install, i reused it and added a few washers now that i know how it looks on the inside.. oh well, **** happens.

 

sent mine back to tial and they fixed it for free and fixed then mailed same day they got it.
