Thanks guys. I'm hopeful it will make some form of a difference. I'm trying not to get my hopes up so I will not be disappointed. I will data log regardless. If the adjustments are fairly positive then I will put the car back on the dyno just to see the numbers before MM does his final tune on 12/17 with Surgeline.

I will take a look one day when I take my turbo kit off so that I can sell it. It is definitely odd that I am on the stock Greddy actuator and am able to hold the boost. I will say that Bryan did modify my wastegate, so its not the prettiest actuator out there (it had been cut open, etc.) It had some work done to it, now as to what he did I do not know. But I was very pleased with the performance of it.

I was going to post a picture of the actuator when I unistalled the turbo kit, but I will respect Bryan in this matter.

That turbo has still not been fitted so don't know the outcome but I will say that my experimentation with a helper spring (attached to the side of the actuator)achieved similar results to what you got .

if you want to test it against other cars and see where you are at before you go to the dyno check out this thread :
