Default I think my wastegate is stuck

i am using a bleeder boost controller. it was working fine for a few days, but now, I see only 5 psi. the RHb5 was pumping 8 psi before, now it just sucks...even when I disconnected the mbc and ran with no hose to the wastegate, it was still stuck at 5 psi...any suggestions on how to close the wastegate?

Might be your actuator Chirs, sometimes the diapharm take a ----, cheap to get new ones, and I might have one for ya if you need it. PM me on redliners.

it got stuck against the dipstick tube...i bent the the actuator arm out of the way, and now it boosts a lot better than before...no boost spikes, since relocation of vacuum line...and it spools hella quick with my comptech testpipe.

thanks sam, but after a lot of prying I got the damn thing working! we should meet up.

thanks,
chris
