I recently put an older big head waste gate actuator on my turbo when I put in the wicked wheel. My buddy had it lying around. We tested it and it worked. When we installed it we preloaded it 1/8" or 3 turns. It definitely does not blow off like the stock one but you can hear it when you put your foot into it between 2 and 3rd gear.
Today after goofing around and putting it to the floor I got a check engine light.
The code was P1249 Waste Gate Control Valve Performance. I asked a couple of buddies and they had never heard of it. Is this really bad or just a nusance code? Should I be worried?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Joe
