Quick question with pic.......
 

I just replaced my primary turbo(non-sequential) and was wondering if this control which is capped off(hopefully that is part of the non-sequential set up)can be removed . Thanks in advance

yeah thats the actuator that controls the butterfly in your y-pipe. it looks just like a throttle plate, and when closed it keeps charged air from the primary turbo from flowing backwards into the secondary turbo. u can remove it if u wish to remain non-sequential

Thanks smitter

I remove the actuator and the plate and shaft ,then weld all the holes closed .Then shave all that smooth . The straight end will go in the lathe and I cut down as far as I can then finish by hand . Looks like a different part . Some then get polished .

how do you keep the butterfly plate in the closed position once the actuator is removed?

remove it

Closed is the "LAST" position you want it in if your running non-sequential.

do you have a pic of your pipe after doing this??? i wanted to do the same after i plugged all the holes but id like to see the finished project if you dont mind.

I used the bracket that was holding it on to make a block off plate. Welded the hole in the middle, grinded it down and it came out great. I used a little gasket maker to make sure it sealed 100%.
