yea everything is clear and it did it before i replaced the feed line. the wastegate seems to look like it being held on by alittle weld on it. but i did take my air compressor and used the blower to blower into the wastegate actuator and it does open. maybe it gets stuck every so often??


EDIT: i went out again today and drove around and my car only boosted like 5lbs! WTF! so i went home did yet another boost leak test and came across alittle noise coming from the top of the smic. so i take off the uicp and put my hand over the top of the coupler and test it. sure enough i hear it again. so i take the coupler off and put my hand over the ic and sure enough i hear it!? so i look very close and see a pin size hold in the top were the coupler connects. could a pin size hole cause my problem with the leak??? im welding it right now and im going to test it soon.
