Rich let me look out in my parts bins to see if I have any rear calipers. I should. I buy cheap nasty ones off ebay time to time in case I need cores for turn ins.

Anyone really good at checking for boost leaks or exhaust leaks lol my car is boosting slow and not hitting where it should.
Also it boosts to .5 bar really quick but after that it's a real struggle to get it to go up. And it seems louder than normal...any help would be awesome from the guys in the area though

That could be a variety of things, ie. Wastegate, couplers, gaskets.

I was thinking wastegate or exhaust manifold gasket...however my couplers around the edges on a couple of them have had a build up of residue and dirt...SO im thinking it may be leaking there even though I have them pretty tight. But I will do some checking around tonight when the engine is cool and see what I can find. But I was just hoping to find someone with more experience with checking for those types of problems. 2 heads are usually better than 1 lol

Based on your avatar I will assume that you have a FD and if it is still a twin turbo and not a single turbo it could be the vacuum hoses controlling the second turbo.

Anybody using a Apexi solenoid valve they care to let me come by and use for a brief moment just to see if it's my valve that's going bad?

Yea it's the crappy Apexi racing wastegate...but im hoping it's the solenoid valve b/c it's a MUCH cheaper fix. Even if it is the wastegate I wanted to get a replacement that would be a direct bolt-on. Not sure if TiAL makes one.

unfortunately tial is not going to be a direct replacement, from what I can remember the apexi has three or four bolt and the tials are v-banded which are more efficient and easier to change/mount

Well if it's not the solenoid valve I will go with tial regardless. Just gotta figure out which is bad first. Oh but I see the F46 is a bolt on for tial...not sure if it will work lol but im hoping so

I don't think mine makes a clicking noise at all lol but it's hard to tell with only one person working on it. I did take it apart and the inside was pretty dirty with some buildup inside and around the o-ring. i cleaned it but still not doing anything I dont think
