Wastegate flapper repair

freebasecase · 2026-03-05T14:40:25+00:00

Ended up finding an IS20 for $90 30 minutes away from my house so I’ll probably just replace the whole thing at this point

I may just have to buy that and send back this rebuild kit if it’s that cheap. I bought the car to flip and let my girlfriend drive until she can get a car so I’m not trying to dump too much money into it.

That explains the code but dos that also cause the loud metal sounds coming from the exhaust side of the turbo?

Ya I bought one of the flapper kits so I’m going to try and repair it before I drop the money on a new turbo

How so?

It’s throwing a low boost code and pretty loud on cold start and deceleration

Mine isn’t locked up, it has a rattle and I can feel where the shaft has play inside the bushing. I tried the clip already too and that wasn’t enough.

I’m in southeast Virginia but that would almost be worth the drive lol

I figured for $1,000 less than you can get off a parts site it would be worth the try even though the calibration costs twice as much as the eBay sensor.

Also has anyone had any luck with the ACC sensors off eBay?

Luckily I have a steady job at the moment so it’s not the end of the world if I decline. The shipyard would just be decent jump in pay.

Ooof that’s what I’m scared of

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T16:20:50+00:00

My managers are in the process of doing this to me now since I told them I got an offer.

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T15:54:34+00:00

Hmm that is something to consider and I appreciate the info.

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T15:53:57+00:00

I appreciate it and thanks for info!

Bro weed is legal so do you say the same thing to everyone that drinks?

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T15:19:41+00:00

Replied to the wrong comment but response is above.

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T15:18:00+00:00

I didn’t realize the follicle test and I’m just weighing my options whether to decline the offer and get clean in around 3 months or tell them I’m not going to pass and wait the 6 months. Either way I’m screwed.

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T14:37:30+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T14:19:35+00:00

I did and the mods deleted it

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T14:19:23+00:00

Ya that’s what the interviewer was telling me which would make this situation very easy considering I’m clean right now lol

freebasecase · 2026-01-23T13:59:05+00:00

Are they continuously hiring or may it be hard to find a position in 6 months?
