Damage wastegate

I think my wastegate is damage because of all the abuse with unichip, has anyone seen a damage one in their cars?

Im calling tomorrow a borgwarner dealer to check if I can buy one new, I already checked realoem.com but they only offer the complete turbo! I might try to get the jcw one!

Any suggestions or ideas??

After 25k miles with the unichip, I haven't had a problem. What are your symptoms as the previous post asked and what seems to point to the unichip? You also state that now you have Jan's tune, could that be the problem since its only recently?
