Wastegate issue....I need help badly

[jerry_69]

So I been having issues boosting up with my car. I checked for leaks. It boosted up when I unplugged the MAS. And when I plugged it in it stopped boosting up. The gage reads about 10-11 psi but I cant feel it. The wastegate flapper doesnt move at all. When I disconnected the rod from the rod, it moved freely. Can the spring inside the wastegate be bad. If so how can I replace it. Thanks for reading fellas. Ive just about had it with the car, I just dont wanna get rid of it.

Did you happen to try to pull the wastegate actuator arm by hand?

Did anyone else get this? HOW does it boost better with the MAS UNplugged?
