But trying to adjust them usually ends up with a broken rod so I just plug them and don't mess with them. I really like spring gates on those to be honest. They are easy to adjust and aren't that expensive these days.

Yeah, I don't want to remove the downpipe until I am ready to pull the engine out. I see the junction where the tube comes out for, what I think, is for the wastegate actuator. I will double check and plug it, I can't figure out what that will actually do though, since I don't know what the actuator is actually doing and how the boost reference changes anything. No boost to the actuator = wastegate staying closed?
What would you recommend for a spring gate? I had been looking at the Banks Big head actuator, seems kind of expensive for what it is though.

I was thinking of one for the CR. I can do the wiring and get a fan controller setup to make it work, but if it isn't going to thread on the 12v hub, I won't bother. I just figured I don't need that fan spinning all the time since the diesel doesn't really get hot at idle like a gas engine.
