so i was cruising on the 15 north and i see this white possible an 07 corvette...not a z06 just a corvette...and well i just wanted to see if i could keep up...so i get in front of it and start cruising fairly fast about 80 or so...and then i switch lanes and i see that the corvette is now chasing me...so i figuered maybe she wants to play....it was a chick driving...so i slow down and wait for her to get next to me...and i look over and i give her the wats up look....lol....so she smashed it and i did too....and she started pulling from me and then all of a sudden my boost kicked in...its wierd though cuz i have my waste gate is rigged to be always open right now so i should not be building any boost....and sure enough it did...i looked over and i was making about 6lbs...and then i was shocked to see her starting to trail me....we both had the WTF!!! look on our faces....
so i guess that counts as a win right....lol....im still confused...i thought corvettes were faster....but dayam my car sounds good at WOT

so yea im having some issues with my wastegate...i think i set the preload too high...so ill be doing some adjustments tomorrow and see if i can get this thing working right...ive been getting some crazy fluttering and vibrations......
i did some reading and looks like the WGA should have a slight pre load...and i pre loaded it...Too HIGH!!!!!
now im starting to think that my old wastegate was good and it just needed a slight adjustment...man watever...at least i know i have a NEW good working actuator that will not leak...
