I had a cracked one and it was only hairline, and lets put it this way - I REMOVED the screw from the bleed valve, and it still would only peak to 10psi and hold 6psi
thank god you back lol before i shelled out on a new actuator!
would a damaged exhaust housing also cause a slight buzz kinda noise when boosting as i have that now aswell!
i assume you know my actuator is standard cus its gold or because you saw it last time my car was in bits lol
