Default Waste gate opening and closing?

Well I'm at 500KMs on my ptuning boost kit. Just right now I noticed at partial throttle my waste gate will open and close. I'm running on a base map and going for a full tune on saturday. This never happend before so I'm wondering if anything got messed up or is it normal..? I can't see the waste gate on the p tuning kit from underneath the hood so I can't tell if anything is disconnected from it. Thanks

Are you going into boost at the time of it opening? Is it an ebay wastegate or a name brand?

Maybe its just me, but it sounds pretty impossible to open a wastegate a partial throttle. Get under the car and look at it to make sure its still in one piece.

vacuum leaks can be almost as fun to find as electrical shorts.
