Where does the wastegate go in a turbo?
Built onto the turbocharger housing and typically found in smaller turbochargers, internal wastegates use a diaphragm that responds to boost pressure provided by a boost line. External wastegates are much larger units designed to withstand high boost levels by using a valve instead of a diaphragm design.
Is the noise from wastegates related to turbo flutter?
4. External Wastegates are responsible for turbo flutter. The sound of turbo flutter, or compressor surge, is sometimes referred to as ‘wastegate chatter’ – but this noise has nothing to do with the wastegate.
Can a malfunction of a wastegate cause a boost issue?
A malfunctioning or improperly assembled wastegate can cause a variety of boost issues. Two types of wastegates exist as of 2011: internal and external. Built onto the turbocharger housing and typically found in smaller turbochargers, internal wastegates use a diaphragm that responds to boost pressure provided by a boost line.
Why is my wastegate not working on my car?
A wastegate is a device mounted internally or external to a vehicle’s turbocharger that ensures the turbocharger does not produce more boost than desired. When boost exceeds the preset target, the wastegate will bleed off any additional boost. A malfunctioning or improperly assembled wastegate can cause a variety of boost issues.

Why does my wastegate flutter when I Turn Off the engine?
In these case, the wastegate will flutter because the spring cannot keep the gate fully shut. The boost will oscillate and the engine will stumble and surge as the boost varies rapidly (any given throttle input should create steady boost levels).
