Actators are not designed to have a vacuum so you should only pressure them.

Unless you balance both sides , also acts as a very reliable boost control .

I had a twin-ported actuator linked to WRC boost solenoids with a feed pipe going to the inlet plenum!

It was done to help improve turbo response. Concept taken from the WRC cars.
