The actuator is not getting a boost signal. Or the diaphram is blown. those are really the only two possibilties. Check for a leak in the line. You can check the diaphram by using a cheap vacume tool. They dont hold 100% so you need to compare the results next to a known working one.

Never ever tell ppl that it is ok to run 35psi+pump gas

12psi is the wga spring pressure , u didnt stretch anything .....

I agree, bad advice to boost 35 psi. 25 psi on pump gas can crack a piston, 19 psi can too with a bad tune.

WGA spring wont stretch from it either, the WGA after bleed hole and MBC will never see manifold pressure.

Thanks for the input however.
