Default Major Problems!!

Hey guys,

I recently put a -31 billet actuator on my rs turbo, it is all rebuilt etc u know the score pretty much but since I changed this, if you put pedal to floor it hits 2 bar of boost and backfires senseless!! So parked it up as I am not blowing my engine up any ideas guys?
