question about WG actunator vac. line....

[99gst_racer]

If I pull the vacuum line off of my wastegate actunator and nothing about drivability changes, then what is malfunctioning?

Usually, you would boost spike..... But mine doesnt. My car behaves the same. Why could this be...??

the baffle inside your aquator is shot so the car is running like it is reguardless of the vac line.
replace the aquator and i bet you see the differance.

Awesome, thanks for your help. I'll try that tomorrow.

That's a new one on me. I've never seen a reference to an aquator in the FSM. What did I miss?

well seeing as how I was dead tired and was still trying to assist those in need, your unmitigated sarcasm is unwarranted.

If you feel that spell checking others is a way to make yourself feel better, then you have more issues than what you thought you saw in the FSM.

Why not try and assist those who need assistance instead of "assisting yourself" in looking like an over critical smart a$$.

You must still be dead tired because there was no unmitigated sarcasm involved.

I ran a google search just to see what you might have been talking about. It's not like I know everything and when I see something I've never heard of, I either want to learn about or get the mistake corrected.

It just dawned on me that you were trying to trying to suggest the diaphram in the wastegate actuator might be ruptured. Sorry that didn't come to me sooner.

Don't feel bad, I passed over the whole thread because of the incomprehensible terminology as well.

It's just the web. Don't get all sideways about it.

Well, I fixed it last night.... You'll never believe this... The WG actuator arm came disconnected from the flapper, so I was running on an open WG. We stuck it back on there and everthing is just peachy,except for some rough boost creep....... Thanks for you help guys.

Thanks -Paul-

The cotter pin that retains the arm to the flapper doesn't seem to last in the high heat environment. If you can get a stainless one to replace it.

I do apoligize.

Also i agree with the stainless steel idea, i used stainless wire and fashioned a swing clip for my old 16g.
