Theory is great, but does anyone know how far the wastegate door actually opens?

Default Yeah it only opens around 30-45degrees or so. Still it could
be causing significant turbulence. More tests are probably necessary.

Default Haven't measured it, but
have seen cracked downpipes from a short WG entry.

Granted this was on an inline 5 20VT on the track, but it does make a difference.
