I was going to check it and it fell on the ground. So how does it look? :giggle: The can sounds like a baby rattle.
Before I buy something (new or used) is there a potential upgrade to the standard internal wg actuator?

Rob, would it be too much of a problem for you to change it to an external WG and be done with it?

Yes- right now. More work and more $. And my ewg port is on runner 4 - notorious for cracking/tearing. Another actuator would put me where I was so I could tune my cam timing.

The first post (before you edited it) was SO much funnier. I was just upset that I couldn't reply with a great big LOL. But not as big as this lol :

LOL

Trust you, Rob! Can't you use something a little newer than 1982?

"But I ONLY get 2 PSI!!!????" - ROFL

Wired the gate shut and I've got my boost back- and then some. :D But closer inspection has revealed that my compressor mount for the actuator put too much of an angle on the rod and probably caused it to wear out. Oh well.

it's also possible the seal to your compressor housing is leaking...i believe that happened to magna-mx5.

Why yess it did was a quite weird thing to u could take it apart and silicone it and see if u get the right pressure.
As far as the restrictor argument. Its best to run one if u do the standard oilpan int eh front tap wich is alil more convoluted than the straight down ontop of the motor mount tap i run on my car. Or if you have a shimmed OP for more pressure etc.
Reading further i see u had a WG issue gratz on solving it Rob :D
