I rebuilt mine a few months ago. Yes. Disassemble and replace broken parts. Pretty straight forward. In my case the valve itself came loose and I assume ended up on the highway somewhere because it wasn't in the muffler.

When my car did this it was a boost leak.
The small hose located directly underneath the throttle body had come off and because it isn't easily visible at all, I could not find it until I did a leak test.
If you're running spring pressure the first thing you should do is a pressurized leak test before jumping into anything else.

Thanks. I just wanted to confim that I'm not crazy to think I need to remove and disassemble the wastegate. I figured there would be plenty of guys here who have done it, but don't find anything by searching other than replacement diaphrams. Sorry to be one of those "just do a search" guys.

Did you try what Teddy952 suggested yet, by removing boost signal pressure to the WG? This is usually the first thing I try whenever I have a low boost situation since the result significantly narrows down the possible causes.
