6th port actuator bung

Show me how your actuators are activated via tubes with OUT an air pump installed on your car please.

I have the racing beat setup and no air pump, and they dont work.

So lets figure it out!

here are the pics of my 6th port tubes:

I have the same setup as yours, RB streetport exhaust and my actuators do not work as well. (I did the twist tie on the actuator shafts and it never move) I checked the actuators today and they seemed to work fine. The plunger shafts go in and out without any problem. The sleeves are moving freely by turning the levers. I even took the metal tube that supplies pressure to the two actuators off and there was no restriction within the tube. With the motor running, I took the smaller rubber hose off at the metal tube junction and there was hardly any pressure coming out. I don't know where to go?? I know some of you with the RB streetport system has the same problem with the actuators not opening and some don't. Why????????

Well i took off the hose from the larger hose, and blew into it. It is just letting the air out into the engine bay. How do i find where the leak is and fix it?
