My day started great, woke up early, got some breakfast, went for a scenic drive. Mid way through some fun having , I notice my car sounds extremely different. It was like my mid pipe fell off but didn't at the same time. Instantly start a log to see what's going on. Peak boost is now only hitting 4psi a long ways away from targets. Limp home and there she is , the lovely 30ff stored as an inactive code. I spent a good part of the day trying to track down this gremlin. Canister vacuum at -26in/hg so no leaks so far from solenoid to vacuum pump. Bypassed the actuator solenoid in the rear and pulled a -10in/hg vacuum: pressure bleeds off. Bypassed the actuator solenoid in the front and pulled the same amount: vacuum holds steady. Is it safe to assume one of my wg actuators is toast and just buy these upgraded turbos already, or should I just continue to search in hopes it's something stupid?
