Okay so, i've had 2 wastegate actuators go bad on me, by leaking, through what i figured was a torn diaphragm. Now i don't know much about the mechanics of a wastegate actuator, but i would figure if its got a diaphragm, it doesn't need a spring in there... i ordered the forge motorsport replacement this time instead of the ATP unit, and one of its selling points is the ability to replace the springs for different boost levels.... so does that mean the forge has no diaphragm in it, and is just a piston-type design?? I would hope so, because that seems as though it would be a far superior design given the luck i've had with the others.

uh oh.... why whats your boost at??
it feels like some kind of hard plastic. i think it's there to just hold the spring in place. the entire aluminum part that the spring sits in you see in the pics moves. there are rubber o rings and grease (you can see in the first pic) that allows it to move...i guess the blue plastic it to keep the spring from scratching or damaging anything.
