The thing is that when I start the car up, the wastegate is partially open with exhaust billowing out the wastegate pipe. To my knowledge this is not supposed to happen until the proper boost is achieved in the system to push the spring up and allow exhaust pressure to escape. I'm thinking there is something wrong with my wastegate but wanted to pose the question here to make certain.

The top line is vented to Atmosphere. The boost controller goes to the bottom/side port.
The turbo pressure line goes into your boost controller.
