Hello Guys,
Car: Golf 4 GTI 1.8T
I had problems since installing new K04-001 Hybrid
always threw me in limp mode at higher RPMS
The crazy part is
the Requested boost and actual boost was always spot on this made me searching for 8 months
I finally decided to remove the turbo again and check out the wastegate.
the wastegate was loose see video:

this cause me to have P0299 fault code
now i see that the wastegate is kinda restricted that you see on chinese turbo's
now my turbo seller told me he would fix my wastegate flapper for free
but after checking out that the wastegate is kinda restricted
what do you guys think about this?
repair the turbo and put it back in the car ?
see pic of restricted hole
943431
kind regards
