Sixto,

Another question or three...

From your pics it looks like a properly functioning wastegate should be forced closed by exhaust gasses even if the spring tension is not pulling it back all of the way.

1. If I disconnected from the linkage would the wastegate in theory sit closed under pressure or is the spring required to seat it due to turbulence in the system?

2. If the spring is required could I wire the wastegate shut after unlinking it to test this?

3. Does this system suffer similar gunking as the crossover/intake/pressurelines/SO/ect?

Thanks,
Hugh
