Everytime I press on the gas of my GN the boost hits 5 psi and then starts making some popping noise is this do to a bad wastegate.

Could be a fuel problem[not tracking properly],or it could be a bad module/coilpack[the problem I had].

Wouldn't it blow the wastegate puck open and build no boost if that were the case?
