Ever since we bought the turbo Lance, the throttle has been very stiff.
The TIO540-S1AD has a wastegate linked directly to the throttle via a cable (no wastegate controller).
The cable was replaced less than 100 hours ago.
We soak the wastegate in mouse milk every chance we get to try and loosen it up.

Is there a place that can rebuild these wastegates? A new one is crazy expensive.
