Think I found my turbo underboost issue!

[borrek]

I’ve been getting a persistent underboost error code (P0299) but am currently working on dropping the trans to rebuild it. To drop the trans I need to remove the exhaust and I noticed this lovely situation pictured as soon as I removed the fender liner to get at the bolts above the cat. The wastegate rod is 100% snapped! Something tells me that wastegates aren’t Bluetooth.
Another part to order, but I’m happy to know I’ll finally knock out that P0299.
Anyone happen to have an extra LH wastegate actuator kicking around??

Wow - what boost levels were you seeing at WOT?

If I were getting on the throttle to get up to highway speed, I’d see around 9psi. I’d see 3-4psi if I was passing someone. Eventually during a drive the accelerator pedal would get “soft” and a little laggy and then it would never go above 0.5-1psi. I assume the ECU just opened the wastegates at that point until the next key cycle.

Oh wow. That's very low.
