Another option is head gasket studs bigger injectors and E85 lol but I want to actually drive this build for a bit
The issue isn't the actuator, it's the flapper design. It's small in diameter and not angled in a way where the exhaust would flow through it efficiently. You could try running a softer spring, but its not a real solution. The crack open point will be at a lower psi so youll lose some spool and then the boost will just spike to 14. Pretty lame. I would port it for more flow.
