Can afford WG yet... :bawling: Maybe I'll try n weather it still can be use or not:driver:
If you r encountering difficult in boosting up or spike then most likely its yr actuator plm...Check yr intercooler & pipings as well.
The easiest is to go for a boost leak check and you can get the answer almost immediately.

Hmmm... in dat case, I'll juz replace da actuator. btw, I have a TD04L actuator wit me... can it be used on TD05H??? After a close inspection, I've notice da bending at the actuator's arm is in a diffrnt position compare 2 TD05.

a bented actuator may gv u higher boost...as the gate close late than before
Just be careful if it stay shut, then you are going to the max boost for once then kaboommm.
