Can someone help?

I bout an 03 evo 8 about 6 month ago and it started actin up. when i started building boost my intake would blow off the throttle body. so i put a heavy clamp on there and now it will just backfire at high rpms and real bad from a roll. the snap on scanner said waste gate at fault. does that mean i need an actuator to adjust it or is it bad and need to be replaced. i wanted to assk first before i just went and bought something. thanks

First off post in the correct section you will get many more replies
If you were having trouble with pipes blowing off the first thing you should try is a boost leak test they are the ultimate evil on turbo cars ,,, also post more info on what mods and such you have as everything can be a factor.
