I had to remove my turbo this weekend to get at the engine mount top nut.

 

When I got the turbo out I noticed that the waste gate was jammed open. The waste gate sleeve that seems to be a pressure fit into the turbo housing had worked its way partially out of the housing. Seems that as the waste gate opened it got progressively jammed open as the sleeve and the waste gate worked its way out of the housing.

 

I simply firmly tapped it back into position. I'm sure it's not a long term fix but I need wheels. I'm hunting around here now for a solution.

 

Perhaps this might be a possible source of that waste gate open error.
