Stuck turbo actuator rod?
 
I've been experiencing an interesting boost condition. I get 2 to 3 pounds of boost max during WOT runs. I initaially thought that it was because I put my POWER FC Boost control kit in incorrectly but I'm not thinking that anymore because I tried all sorts of different configurations with it and the turbos act exactly the same way each time... I ruled out a boost leak as well... Someone said that I may have a stuck actuator rod... They recommended that I try to move the pre-control and wastegate actuator rods manually because they may be stuck... has anyone heard of this? Has it worked? If so, how did you do it?
Thanks
Mike

One of the reasons I'm doing the non-sequential conversion, eliminate complexity. It could be that or a bad duty valve, solenoid, check valve, vacuum line, etc. That's why I say skip the sequential sh!t, unless you got all kinds of time to waste troubleshooting, and don't mind not getting the full potential out of your car. But just IMO. :)

I got under the car today and was able to move both rods... It's something else so I'm going to continue troubleshooting!

Hey Mike dude! I'll try to give you a call tomorrow and see how your progress has been going.

In the meantime, try teeing your boost gauge into one of the nipples off of the y-pipe to see what boost level you're seeing pre-piping.
