I have about 2000 miles on a rebuilt turbo, but re-used the old wastegate. Today my CEL came on (steady). It is kicking out the P0299, underboost code.

1. Is it safe to drive over the weekend until I can talk to the shop that rebuilt the turbo on Monday?

2. Without looking, is it a good possibility it is the wastegate?

Thanks

Looks like it could be a number of things. I'd start by checking your piping and make sure that everything is all hooked up.
