turbo control actuator removed..??

I met a guy who has been working on rx7s for over 20 years. he was schooling me on tips and tricks to get things running right.
One of the things he told me to do is remove the turbo control actuator and that will solve my turbo transition issue along with the top pressure chamber and a few other things.I questioned him on that and he told me to take a ride on his car.this car was flying i was literally shitting my pants.My FD is no where near as fast as his and his FD is full sequential with normal 10lbs boost.I am making this thread to see what are you guys opinions on this..

from your vague secondhand description it's hard to say anything really about it

Exactly, I'd love to know how you can operate a sequential setup w/ nothing controlling the gate

Feels faster, maybe it's lighter

A non sequential setup is a bit faster from a drag racing perspective but if you're on and off the throttle at lower RPMs like autocross it's SLOW.

Well, a working non-seq is going to be faster than a non-working seq setup.
