so at idle, the wastegate is venting exhaust gasses out!

Make sure the valve is seated correctly. !

The valve inside the gate that opens to vent exhaust gasses, make sure thats seated properly in the housing. If its not sitting correctly then it will leak!

If exhaust is coming out at idle it won't be seating.

Snap it shut and if it sounds dull, not a clack, then it could have dirt under it or it is sticky. apart from that it could be burnt, rusted, warped, or the linkage might be out of adjustment.
If you are really keen you could try blowing through it.

Yes, but we already know it will do that as its doing the same thing with your exhaust gasses!

No worries! Hopefully its something simple like dirt/crap as mechnificent suggested

there is a steel ring that goes between the wastegate and the flange on the manifold did you put that in. That is what the valve inside the wastegate seats on to prevent it leaking like it is

yeah, pic of the inlet side of the wastegate. I only got mine all fitted (like a few hours ago), mine had like a spring loaded ring that seated hard against the flange on the manifold, the valve then seated on the other side of the ring
thta looks good all smoothed out, I was thinking to to wrap mine in exhaust wrap, or of making another metal cover over everything like they have from factory, but make it from stainless steel
