Q: How necessary is it to repair the wastegate?
Thank you guys for the great explanation, it saved me $110 from not going to a dealership. And I realized my Wastegate is the problem. But my question is,"how bad can it be if I don't immediately replace the Wastegate. The waste gate is shut by the way. And I'm not feeling all of the power I should. Anyways hope to hear from you soon. Thanks! -Chancey chancey.wyrosdic1998@gmail.com
