The difference between an internal and external waste gate is not insignificant. You might want to figure out for sure which you have.

When you say you "get power and lose it back and forth", are you saying your boost level fluctuates?

IIRC, internals are what come OEM stock on your car. external are aftermarket and TBH are not truly needed unless you really push the power. or just want some bling bling under the hood

Right? Why would you try to buy something to fix a problem when 1)you don't know what you have and 2) you don't know what the problem is?

i was on the floor at waist. seeking help via forums is cool...but hopefully after one has searched enough on their own. the answers are out there. especially if it has to come from yourself...

Is this what you're looking for? This goes back and forth also, but flow is usually one direction iirc. Good Luck!!
