take an air blower and blow about 30 psi into the port on the big head and see if it actuates. The springs are very strong in these gates.

You mean a compressor;)

remove the hose going to the wastegate, set air regulator alittle higher than what you set the actuator for, put the air chuck on the fitting & it will move.

my turbo seems to have more power when its cool out when its hot my truck wont get out of its own way, also when you put your hand over the intake with the filter off does not seem to have alot of suction when hot

Problems like this can be fixed, but it will never happen on the webby , to fix this one a scan tool will have to be connected to the truck while the symptom is happening , if any one in your area has EFi a log of the truck while it is happening and maybe we could do something , or at least rule out severl things , where do you live at ?
