the wastegate broke during a race.
2 reasons I won't post a picture of it. First, you lack credibility here and I have nothing to prove to you. Second, after showing it to a few guys at work today, I threw it away.

First it held too much boost, then it held no boost. Took the internal wastegate bolts off the mounting place on the compressor, and the vaccuum can portion fell off. Super, broken wastegate, just what I always wanted!
Even better news I think it took out some ringlands when it broke. 2000miles on that rebuild
Oh then I got home and the alarm doesn't work any more. So if anyone wants to come steal a civic, feel free. Column is already broken from the last buy that tried to.
Compression test results to follow:
1. 190psi
2. 200psi
3. 165psi (oily cylinder/sparkplug)
4. 190psi
guess I only killed one, cylinder had oil in it so im guessing thats why it still test 165psi

get up to get my timeslip, and take off toward the staging lanes to BS with some people before I leave and my wg was pops wide open and dumptube starts roarin. I figured it was the normal 14b sticking open that happens once in a while, so i tried to tap it shut to no avail. So I drove home open WG.
The next day, I go to the shop and take loose the two bolts that hold the actuator to the compressor, and it just falls off. The arm still connected to the flapper just hangs there. Wastegate actuator and arm in two pieces, bad deal.
Lucky for me I had a spare to put on, so I do that and call it good. However on the way to to shop I was noticing some excessive smoke. Cylinder 3 got popped.
Looks like the WG got hung up and held closed, so I overboosted, then it sprung free and fell apart completely inside.
Make sense now?
