Also, just to let you guys know, I drove to work this morning and the wastegates are working perfectly! 
Just before I went into work, I stopped at the gas station and reved it a couple times just so I can hear just the engine. |
I agree this could be a fix for those whose actuators aren't failing, but if your actuator is failing (does not have the power to close the wastegate), I don't see how this is anything but a temporary fix.
