If the stock wastegate is ported a bit beyond
the washer, will it affect boost? Just a little bit. At 6:00 notice the port appears to go beyond the washer. Infact, the washer barley covers it. Reason I ask, I am having trouble building boost and hear no BOV. As well, my low end drivability sucks.
Thanks,
Chris

With the hybrid turbo's,you need to add tension to the actuator arm to hold closed the wastegate flap from opening early.Some drill the actuator arm closer to add tension or add an external spring.If yours isn't modded then I would try that first to combat the boost build issue.

What about the exhaust? Try unbolting the exhaust from the down pipe and see how it runs. Also, make sure the throttle is opening all the way when you push the PEDAL to the floor. Other than that, double check all the piping for your front mount IC. Good luck.

Your wastegate port looks as if it might be too big on one side and might not be sealing well, hence the reason I recommended shining a light behind it to look for light leakage around the perimeter of the washer. Also try to move the washer side to side with it closed, simulating what might happen while driving. If you have light leakage, you also have gas leakage, leading to slower boost rise.

yea but his boost issues shouldn't be that bad. If it's not hitting boost really than the BOV wont blow off. Try disconnecting your boost controller and cap off your wastegate actuator. If it's still not hitting boost then you have some other problems. Maybe the turbo isn't getting much oil or something like that and just isn't spinning like it should.
