    Idk we will find out. It depends on what I set it to really but that also to a point depends on how long the rod needs to be to fit my setup. I'm going to set it to as low a psi as I can.

    Well the 2 port actuator will not fit. Even at the shortest rod length its too long for one and the bracket would need to be modified for it to *maybe* fit if you could shorten the rod enough. So no 4 port boost control for me

    Why is it a 2 port actuator? I haven't had an internal setup in a long time, but I used to have a 5-6psi actuator and that was from atp (IIRC).

    Well to use the 4 port solenoid you need a 2 port actuator. All external wastegates have 2 ports so it automatically works with external setups.

    Ok so I out everything back together and this morning I'm having an issue. Quick spool is working but as soon as quick spool reaches target boost my boost drops as if there is no boost control. Any thoughts? Note: I like an idiot had cut out my 3 port before realizing the actuator would not fit so I did have to solder it back in an the wires are a little shorter.

    Well I cut both ends off of the line that gets pressure to the solenoid in hopes that it had a leak or be seal and that didn't fix this issue so I know it's not leaking out of that line. I don't think it Wouk be leaking out of the line going to the waste gate because if that leaked my logic tells me I'd over boost if anything. Other than those vac lines, the wires of the solenoid being cut and re-soldered in, and the actuator and bracket being taken off and put back on nothing else has changed. Does anyone have any thoughts? So weird that it boosts to about 10psi then completely dies off making less boost than if I turned the boost control off back when things were working correctly.

    My apologies, I thought I responded to this. Has it been fixed?

    I HATE when this happens. Complete BS that makes you wonder how people were raised. Hard to tell full damage from the pic, doesn't look like they got the quarter panel though - which is awesome. What was the extent of the damage? I see a Mugen rear lip coming soon
