I finished installing the VR1 turbo back and I noticed that exhaust air was also coming from the wastegate pipe !
I decided to open the wastegate again to check and I noticed that if I look down the wastegate pipe towards the the wastegate piston I can see light thru it !! There is a small gap and I guess that’s why the exhaust air is flowing thru it. I did try to press the spring/piston to make sure it is not jammed and to make it sit properly but still the gap is there .
I feel the wastegate has a problem as the gate (piston) should be completely closed and open only when there is 6 psi of boost (in my case) this is my understanding I hope I am correct .
Appreciate your input in this matter .
TIA
