Hi Bud,
Sorry to correct you Bud, it is just the opposite. As the name implies,
the wastegate is a gate to the waste. When the gate is open, most of the
exhaust gases flow directly to the muffler and are wasted. When the gate
is closed, all exhaust gases flow to the turbine.
I agree this does not help solving any turbo problem, but using the
right wording would avoid adding some confusion.
Best regards
Remi Guerner
<<<<<<<As for the Turbo. If the waste gate sticks closed you would see
it in
low MP. If stuck open you will see an overboost (not good). >>>>>>>
