thanks stevieturbo, as always you know better than anyone else
with the ebc turned off completely it's actually holding boost better, more work to try out at another time.
There is nothing unusual about a small leak past the shaft. Every wastegate Ive ever tested leaks there, more so the older they are.
Set the thing up properly and as the instructions tell you and it will work. Simple...at least it should be simple.
