    In Reply to: How is a broken wastegate keeping itself closed? Is it welded shut? posted by illbill on 2008-09-03 12:11:32

    what I was told is that when the wastegate is closed, the turbo builds boost. So, by it not opening when it's fed pressure, the wastegate flap on the exhaust side stays closed, and the turbo builds full, uninhibited boost. When I removed the wastegate off the turbo, I fed it up to 20psi, and it doesn't move. So, I bought a new one. Hopefully that works
