Hey Ed,
Sent an email a week ago with some questions, haven't heard anything back...

That’s not good news for me. I’ve been having a issue with boost leaking, and the shop said it’s coming from the wastegate shaft. Anyone have experience with that?

They smoked it, and that’s the only area leaking smoke. I’m not hitting full boost until almost 4700 RPM. Charge side is leak free. Ed said look for pre turbo exhaust leaks. Not sure what else I can do at this point.

That shaft is only accessible to gasses after they have already passed through the turbine or the wastegate.
You could have a wastegate issue, but that's not it.
No leaks on charge side, this current issue is normal, any suggestions for the slow spool? It holds boost once it builds it. What else could be wrong with the wastegate?

You have VCDS or OBD11? Check wastegate voltage
I have OBD11. I’ll check when I get the car back from the shop. I selected the option to have the actuator installed and calibrated, and the adaptation runs fine on the AP.

That doesn't mean anything. They all run different voltages.
Dammmm....I just got a EQT turbo XL with the acuator and calibrated. Hope mine is fine.

How are shops checking the voltage when they don't have VCDS or OBD11?

Any Euro shop should have VCDS.
As for the ones that don't, they probably don't look at it. They aren't as sensitive as people think, but it's a good starting point to confirm everything is in order.
