I changed my actuator with the turbo still in place, manifold off though

SMIC will be struggling after a few runs.

Might be worth finding someone with VCDS to do logging but 125k on an original actuator - probably is weak by now

You won't regret going fmic, it helps to sustain the power, I make healthy power all year around regardless of weather condition (also have water methanol to help)
