Vacuum/Boost Leak - Need HELP!

ZSHO said:
FWIW check the wastegate Hose that leads from the Boost reference solenoid,which then feeds to the rear turbo actuator I believe! I don't have PICS @ the moment but might be worth while to inspect that particular hose in question!  Z
I've checked that hose as best as I could and didn't see any issues with it, but it is a hard one to see.  I followed the hose from the solenoid to the T-fitting that then split to each actuator.  Both appear ok from what I can see, but I did not remove them to inspect.  I did confirm they are connected to the actuators.

It's hard to imagine both actuators having an issue, but I would confirm that they are working properly, since there is no leak topside.
Right!  I'd be completely shocked that both actuators would go bad at the same time.

How do you confirm they are working properly?  Just see if you can reach them and move the arm freely?
 
SHOdded said:
yes, the linkages should move freely.  And the wastegate should actually full close and open.
I'll give it a try.  One on the back side looks like a pain in the butt to get to!

Thanks!
 
Was the case for me. 2nd one too. But for some reason this one by the firewall was being tricky. It wasn't as obvious as the front when it blew.
