Wastegate flapper

The wastegate flapper on my turbo has a gap inbetween the housing and the flap. Anyway to close it up, will this cause my boost to leak allot or is some expected?

Re:Wastegate flapper

You don't want any gaps... or leaks esp in that area. There might be a way to close it up.. ??? Weld it with love and care as to not harm the helpless flapper. :-\

Re:Wastegate flapper

a little leak isnt going to hurt your boost to bad. just consider it boost management :D

I would thread the wastegate rod, and suck the flapper shut...

Re:Wastegate flapper

Anyone have a picture of a 14b where the wastegate rod meets the flapper on the exhaust housing. The one I had was connected with a little peice of wire, took it off and now i can bring the flapper closed. How do i thread it?
