Yes. wastegate is acctuated by psi so it will just have to spin faster before it opens. =lag, slow response

I kept messing with the cas "disconnect AAC!" till it ran perfect. I used my timing light but couldnt get idle to stay steady enough so adj. drive//repeat..like three times then started pullin good.
