Haven't started my car in a while so decided to start it today. Started right up but noticed that it sounded louder than I remembered. Looked under the hood and saw exhaust coming out of my open o2 housing.
So I popped off the arm and tried to manually open and close the wastegate. Sometimes it would close all the way and other times it wouldn't. I tried pushing on the flapper and pulling on the flapper while I closed it but it didn't seem like one way was better than the other.
I'm running an fp hta 68 with an internal wastegate and a stm o2 housing.
Is there something I can do to fix this or is it just better to go to an external wastegate?
It's just weird because I can manually open and close it 10 times without a problem and then sometimes it binds and stays open just a hair.
Thanks
Brian
