couple questions: plugging hole in compressor and boost leaks
1) How can I tell if I'm leaking boost from the injector seals?
2) The lip of the dashpot on the internal wg actuator is smashed against some of the fins on the radiator...should I fix this ASAP or is it not a big problem?
3) Can I plug one of these holes in the compressor here? It's annoying having two lines go to the wastegate
If I can, what one should I plug? WTF is the reason for having both of them there?

If you do, plug the one towards the front. Try to find a plug that does not extend too far into the housing.
Also, i would say having the wastegate actuator rubbing on your radiator is a
pretty big problem. Dont want to catch a leak in the rad do you? I have had
success modifying the bracket that the dashpot is attached to, to bring it closer
to the turbo.

Re: couple questions: plugging hole in compressor and boost leaks (rioninja)
ok cool, I think I might just plug both of them and run the signal from the intake mani (I want a little more boost anyways)
Now just need to figure out if the seals are leaking.

Either that or you can run it to the charge pipe, that way you have more vacuum sources for later if needed.
I just tapped mine into to the charge pipe post intercooler
