Default Urgent Help Needed - Wastegate

Hi, sorry to bother you all but my 97 WRX is getting slower and a freind advised me to check the wastegate actuator and when i took the heat sheild off and inspected it i can actually open it fully by hand, im thinking this is knackered and could be the cause of my boost problem, however where can i get one from ASAP and is it worth getting an uprated one? Cheers

You could probably get one from Grade A Subaru Breakers.
They are all much the same, some models have slightly different opening pressure but the ECU shold be able to cope.
