My engine popped aswell, although I knew it would being an N/A lump. It was nicely running 8 psi from the T25, but I couldn't fight the temptation to unwind the bleed valve, oops! |

If your actuator is weak it will not hold the waste gate shut properly and you will see less boost, if you're overboosting chances are your pipe to the actuator is leaking/split, this is probably the whistling sound ..... |
