Wastegate noise at idle?
Should you be able to hear just a tiny bit of exhaust noise from an external wastegate with a dump pipe at idle?
Or does this mean there's a leak?

Thread resurrection!
I took my WG off and the valve doesn’t hold water. It has a bit of play, and doesn’t consistently seat with the fire ring.
I guess that explains the feeling that there exhaust coming out of the dump pipe. It also might partially explain my boost issues?
I can’t seem to get the not holding the valve off, though… I think it’s a special nut of some kind.
I don’t even see where I can buy new internals, other than springs and diagrams.

I just pulled the downpipe and realized there’s a small crack in the weld to between the pipe and flange… wonder if that wasn’t the source of the noise.
