hi mate sticking waste gate will cause turbo too over boost if stuck shut or under boost as it may stick open
disconnect actuator and check wastgate bit fiddely.also i take it ,it did'nt fail the mot on a sticking wastgate
as it's not a mot failer and he would have had to give it a boot full too see if it was boosting ect
