Failed upgrade to new 3"downpipe and resulting problems

[Steve Wood]

It is a wonder that it has not hurt a head gasket.  Don't let it do that again

[Steve Wood]

If I understand correctly, when you disconnect the wastegate from the actuator, the wastegate is frozen closed and will not move (the arm will not move).  Do I understand that properly?

I would insist he take the dp back...assumin g a good engine mount on that side, it should fit....I don't know how that install can be at fault.

I've sent it back.  We'll see if he deems it worthy to refund me the money.  At least most of it.  I'm taking the car to a speed shop in Springfield that does a lot of turbo cars and they're going to fix my wastegate.
