Check the end of the wastegate actuator were it should connect with the wastegate arm on the exhaust side of the turbo. The cotter pins come off causing the WGA to fall off. When that happens the wastegate will stay open and you won't make any boost.

no, not yet. i dont have it in a garage right now. was planning on doing it this weekend. If that would be the problem, could i just replace the turbine, turbine housing. and the bearing? I'm pullin it in a garage for the weekend and wanted to get some ideas of wat the problem might be.

if its just a 14b its cheaper to get a new one (100-200) than to rebuild it. (200)
UPDATE: Ok i finally got into the turbine housing and checked for play right. well, the retards who rebuilt the turbo must have forgotten a bearing or something, cuz there was no play, no spin, absolutely no movement with the turbine at all. Stupid asses. PROBLEM SOLVED: small 16g turbo on the way.
