Please Pete I’m waiting for a reply did you ever free the actuator with the penetrator thank you

[@abrahamghannam2137]

Did the penetrating catalyst free it ?

[@abrahamghannam2137]

What will eventually happen if the waste gate does not open what kind of damage are you doing to your engine please respond thank you

[@MichaelBrown-wx6zq]

Waste gate releases intake manifold pressure. If it fails to do this a switch in your car SHOULD disconnect your ALDA from intake manifold pressure, signaling (ironically) a low boost situation, ALDA will cut fuel. If both these safeguards fail you get tons of boost and maximum fuel, this can raise EGT temps (melt your shit) and over spin your turbo (blow your shit up)
