Wastegate slightly open at idle?
I got the apexi rx6b kit, and at idle, it seems like the wastegate is slightly open. Is this normal? It's louder, but I would have thought it would seal completely until the vacuum opens it up higher in the rpm range?

Thanks,

Ravi

the spring inside the wastegate should keep it close at idle.
