    Default help? wastegate issues

    wastegate ran fine for a week, then today parked it, 30 min later turned it on, and now the valve is stuck open. i tried moving around the vacuum lines, and checked for a damaged spring, all is good.. it's used with a new diaphram. (turbosmart ultra-gate) any idea's why it won't close?

    also to make note, the gate was fluttering at partial throttle before as well

    Heavy carbon buildup on the valve, vacuum leak between the top and bottom half of the diaphram?

    yup, it was just a washer sized nut that backed out.. all good.. now i have a new problem.. i took off my VAFC, and now the car idles at 200rpm and runs richer than a boosted rotory motor.
