When the car is idling is the wastegate supposed to be cracked a little bit and sound like an exhaust leak? or is that only at WOT?
- The WG itself should be quiet under all circumstances.
- The WG should be closed at idle if there is a spring inside it.

Well my friend installed it and i trusted him, and just realized he never installed the valve seat, this could be the reason correct?
