Ok, I spoke to PTE this morning. I do have the higher spring wastegate actuator. 18lb. spring rated at 30psi. All SCM series of PTE's come standard with this actuator. He thinks that i'm not getting pressure at the top of the spring. I have a "T" in the vacuum line that goes to the BOV. From that T, i goto my Hallman MBC and then to the actuator. If you're familiar with the PTE SCM turbo's, they have the nipple in the compressor housing with a hose going from that to the actuator. Right now, I just have that nipple replaced with a cap. I wonder if it would be better to intercept that line with my Hallman. I was always told to source off the intake and not the compressor but now i'm beginning to wonder if i'm not getting enough pressure to the actuator.
