So i did try a different actuator, no increase, so i cranked the rod down a few turns and it only increased to about 5.6-6. that was with about a whole pins worth of overlap. not 1/6 to half but the whole pin. Guessing im lucky and have a warped or chunked wastegate puck. it drives fine for now...
Ok I took it apart and I actually went just a tad further than half way just to see if I could get results. Hits same amount of boost. Almost 4, 3.8 psi. So that would lead me to thing the Wastegate puck isn’t sealing or the housing is cracked etc, but again if I disconnect the gate entirely it...
Ok soon bypassed the boost solonoid and connected the boost reference from the turbo straight to wastegate. Nothing changed got 3.6 psi max on the scanmaster and the auto meter guage matched, just under 4psi.
So that really can only mean the actuator is trashed? Doing the tests in the typhoon...
Also to add, my memcal is the BBZB if that matters. I guess my next steps are to change my intake gaskets, thermostat just to put a lower temp in. and rebuild the distributor. i will also check the balancer for incorrect timing. I just dont get it. it runs so nice, has great power out of boost...
