Wastegate?

drmmr15 · 01-09-2007, 05:06 AM

I believe my wastegate is stuck open. How do I fix that? Do I have to replace the wastegate actuator? I just bought an '87 Turbo, and the turbo doesnt spool. I can get it to about 1.5psi, but thats it. I had a friend block the exhaust off, and the car had a steady leak from the wastegate area. It's enough of a leak that the car didnt die even when the exhust was blocked off. I was wondering if this is an easy fix. Thanks.
