Why are you going to rebuild your turbo if the problem lies with your wastegate? A new wastegate is like 50 bucks

Keep in mind some things when you upgrade to a k04. You will need to upgrade your diverter valve, get a tuning chip of some sort, and I highly reccommend a boost gauge. Also, the more mods you do after that, you will certainly extract the most potential out of your set-up. Doing a HF cat/test pipe and exhaust system will help your whole system flow better as well. Depending on the tuning you decide, you may also need injectors and or a FPR.
