Chris has it right.

I am running the good old blue box till I can get my finances back in order. Then I'll be looking to run the Hondata. I don't need a new wastegate I just need to tighten one of the bolts that was loose and it should be straight (but I'll keep an eye on it). I guess its all just a part of having a turbo'd car that doesn't come that way stock. I'll just take this whole thing as a learning experience and build up for bigger and better things.

Greddy = crap for making power...

but NORMALLY they are good for a reliable setup... i will bet just about anything that this is due to an install/driver mistake...

It was on the driver/install. I pushed the car too far and too hard. It was bound to happen with the loose wastegate.

The same reason everyone else puts something like this on their car. I was trying to achieve a goal (low 13 sec. car). Just like any car project things can go wrong (especially with stock internals) or things can go right......because I took the easy road (not upgrading Fuel enough, or pistons) shit went wrong.
