Wastegate was dangling by ONE bolt!
 No clue how it got to that point.  My friend tightened all the hardware, replaced gaskets and everything is merry. Car is pulling very hard now. He alligned it...now it drives straight like an arrow...until boosting. Torque steer is still an issue. I wish it was a little bit but it's too much. Either pulls to one side or the other. Another friend of mine drove it and he got scared and almost hit the curb. And he drives an 11 second flat Mirage.  Anyway, the serious stuff will happen next month...I'll be able to install the EMS and the forged goodies. Anybody have a cure for torque steer? I have never experience such amount in any other turbo FWD car.

Well, when going plenty fast, it doesn't pull to the side. It's more when rolling or from a dead stop.
EDIT: Mounts are fine...car only has 38,000 miles. The auto tranny is staying in, but we're concocting a little recipe for it. Gosh, less than a month and I'll be able to start the next phase of the project.
