Noticed waste gate arm was only half up..hmm..checked lines ..looked good..checked actuator... With hose off pulled the lever up, plug up the hole.. tried pushing down lever, it wouldn't move so it's good..right??....bypassed solinoid by pulling both hoses and connecting them together.. from what I understand that should make the lever pull up tight if the solenoid is just bad.. sometimes pulls up tight , sometimes doesn't.. moving hoses around doesn't make a difference.. and when I put my finger on the hose coming off the pump doesn't really feel like it has squat for suction. And what little suction it does have is intermittent.. so think I'm going to do a vacuum pump delete.. and just build a manual wastegate.. saw a couple good ones on some threads on here some guys built... Just put a lot of expensive parts into it lately so 150 bucks for a spool stick is kind of out of the question right now.... But if any of y'all have any advice please point me in the right directions
