If you have swapped this for silicon and not fitted the restrictor then the actuator will be seeing the incorrect level of boost and opening too early.
the only ones I didnt change were on the turbo as I ran out but car has been boostin fine up till now? only since its been sitting, will give it all a good going over later and see if anythings loose
