Boost problem

Hey, I just did a search and couldn't find much on what I am doing.

I am having a problem where my Primary turbo is only getting 3 psi. Around 4500 rpm, I am getting 10 psi (like normal). Now, I replaced vacum lines and the charge release valve for the primary turbo, I also checked the Y-pipe and the coupler, it is fine as well. I was wondering if there was a solenoid or an actuator that I need to be looking for.

Thanks for the help.

yea you should check the solenoids and the actuators.... i had the same exact problem and turned out that it was my actuator, kind of a rare thing to find, but expensive to replace...

Is it the pre control actuator or the wastegate control actuator?

Why don't you say something that actually has something to do with this thread and stop being such a *****.

Can anyone say something useful?
