with the actuator disconnected, the wastegate will never open, which means boost will continue to rise as long as the throttle is open and the engine is ingesting air

this basically means your running unlimited boost - be careful with this - it might go bang.

what spring are u using in the actuator? what boost controller have u got setup?

what exhaust setup do you have? have you checked the actuator / swing valve for play? does the wastegate flap actually open?

The spring on the actuator is factory kkr, exhaust 3inch after market turbo back. i have checked the actuator it functions fine, tryed with 2 diffrent boost controllers one electric the other just a cheap t piece style same resault. i have also tryed with no boost controller does anyone no the least boost you can run with this actuator??

so wastegate hole is to small thats my problem?

limiter is set to 7500rpm im pretty sure, but since plenum upgrade and car hasnt been tuned, ive lost alot of down low and turbo comes on really hard bout 5000rpm and then goes straight to limiter...

sounds gay if the boost range is 5000 to 7500rpm is it evan worth it?

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
