Exclamation i want my top end back now, dammit!

OK here goes, I need some serious help. I have an 88 GTU and know that the auxilliary ports ain't workin, and that sucks=NO TOP END POWER. I took off the air pump the other day to get to the front actuator and it doesn't budge at all, the one on the rear is fine though. Also, on the air control valve the port air solenoid valve has no wire coming out of it, it has been burned completely off somehow. I really need to get this **** working so I need some suggestions because i'm planning on a bonez super flo and an apex n1 dual exhaust and I know that will not make enough back pressure to work, I've thought about taking the sleeves completely out, but I don't know. I want something where the ports work but unlike taking the sleeves out I still need my gas mileage, gas is high you know. Maybe the ball valve thing with the cover plate on the acv or the acv dump over 3800 rpm thing. First I need to get the ***** to move first so what can you guys do to help me, PLEASE!

In reference to the actuator that does not move......remove the actuator. Its just two ten mm size nuts that hold it on. Then with it out of the car, see if the actuator will move. If not, rap the shaft on a piece of wood until it can be exercised. If the actuator can be depressed, and its the sleeve inside the intake manifold that will not move, then remove the upper and lower intake and remove the sleeve and clean. Its possible that its just the actuator that is frozen, so rap it on some wood until it loosens up and exercise it freely moves.
