Re: Over Boosting? Need some help guys

If I unhook the wastegate arm to the flapper it wud just be closed ? It wudnt stay open. I took the arm off to see if it was stuck. And it moves free but is this what I should do just take the arm off so it's open when I boost ?

Did you try hooking the actuator directly to the intake manifold vacuum source?
