My wastegate is squealing now

It functions normally, but now it's making a squealing noise when it opens.

I checked the diaphragm and it looks fine to me:

I think the black stuff on the diaphragm is tarnish from the aluminum slidey-part. I could not hear it previously; do you EWG guys hear your WG's open with the dump plumbed back into the pipe?

Thoughts?

Never heard a squeal on mine but I have the old style gate.

Call Tial? They answer the phone and support is helpful

Best solution is to not run an external gate. :inout:

That would just make your job of building downpipes even easier then.
