so when you turn the car on the wastegate comes open? If this is the case then no that is not right. Your wastegate should only be open when it reaches the spring rate or whatever boost level you have it set to on your boost controller. I would look at how you have the wastegate hooked up.

Almost sounds as if there isnt a spring in the diaphragm.

ya thats correct. when i start it comes open and sounds like open header.. ive searched and searched but cant find anything on it.. do any of you guys have an idea how it hooks up.. do i need to take the wastegate apart and see whats wrong with it.. im so used to having a internal wastgate with my hybrid turbo...

yeah you need the valve seat, it keeps the wastegate from leaking at the flange
