Wastegate Broken?

I felt a major loss in boost pressure yesterday, then noticed the wastegate rod is broken when I put the car on the lift this morning.

Can I replace just the metal rod or do I need the wastegate replaced? I'm running the EVOMS 640 kit.

Thanks.

Just replace the whole waste gate. Its worth it, looks pretty rusted out, could be inside of it also. Happened to me and I replaced them out with some 1 Bar waste gates from AMS.

Not that you need another opinion to agree with the rest, but yes - replace!
