Ive searched and most say to cap the line from the turbo j-pipe, but I swear Ive never done this with my ebc installed and its always worked fine.


Right about the time I get to 14psi, I get a lot of air escaping through the wga can. If I pinch the line going to the wga, it stops.


Is this normal? Should I have to cap the line from j-pipe?

 

scratch that...I just hooked up my other actuator and get no air escaping. Looks like Im swapping actuators.

 

so your wastegate was leaking, strange. good to know though

 

Yes. It was leaking out the can. All of the "How to Boost Leak Test" write-ups say to plug the boost signal line. So you'd never know if the can was leaking. But I had never done that since installing my bcs and never had this problem. Definitely does not leak out of the oem ix actuator that I have. I gained close to 40whp/30wtq (VD) after swapping actuators yesterday... And now I have full control over the boost curve.
