[Vwdiesel] I think my wastegate is really done this time ...

95 Jetta TD w/ KKK turbo.  I have noticed that the boost has been going past the 15psi mark lately ( again ).  I decided to hook up a little compressed air to check for proper movement and there was some, but not a whole lot.  Seems to be moving about half as much as it should ( when compared to a T3 turbo from a Thunderbird I have lying around.  It has the same type of wastegate )  I also noticed air coming from the shaft area, whereas on the T3 it does not.  So it looks as though I need a replacement.  I don't think the one I have from the T3 will fit.  Should I just go looking for one from a wrecker or is there an aftermarket one ?
