Intermittant Wastegate Actuator Failure

Ok crew,

So I posted up a few weeks back about my low boost issue, and it appears that it is related to the wastegate actuator. Low boost for a couple days, regular boost for a few weeks, rinse and repeat.

So, after a few weeks of normal operations, the problem has popped up again. I am ready to replace the actuator, but have a few questions:

If I am running 17PSI on Stg.2 should I upgrade the actuator? If so, to what?

Where in the hell am I supposed to get one?

TIA
