Just a quick one. Does the pipe left open draw air in? I'd of thought not as engine will be getting unmetered amount of extra air. If not does this mean diaphram is split?

Yes when idling it's drawing air in. I've took pipe off and you can suck through it. Slight resistance but air getting straight through.

So that means the actuator is shot and you get boost all the time.

I've been out and removed from my car and having a look over breakfast.
If you suck on upper pipe (the one we connect to inlet) There is a slight restriction but is still drawing air in lower pipe. Placing finger over it seals fully. If you try and open using vacuum through upper, it starts to lift operation arm but after approx 1mm of movement it it loses then suction vacuum and free-flows straight through, as though something is not seating correctly inside.
Does anyone know what pressure these actuators are? Hopefully getting helped out, so that I can get on with finishing my build but looking at alternatives available here, if anyone else has a failure.
