you need to check the preload on the actuator rod mate.
should have about 3 or 4mm pre load,half moon on the hole.
do you have a boost gauge??

where the actuator rod goes onto the wastegate bar,
you need to set the length of the actuator rod so that the hole at the end of it sits halfway across the actuator bar,so the hole is like a half moon.
you should have to stretch the rod to fit it onto the wastegate by about 4 mm.
make sense????
