well, either you take the downpipe off and see if the flapper is hanging on the downpipe flange, and grind the flange to create more clearance, or the actuator itself could be bad, which you can test by putting 7-12psi to the actuator using compressed air or a bike tire pump, and watch the arm movement.
pretty straight forward stuff. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

not if you have a stock turbo.
you can find actuators here, alltrac.net or mr2oc...just poke around some. if its a 20b, i would PM gottagoturbo, he is always parting out gt-4's. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
