And out came the cutting wheel

Cut off the end of the vacuum actuator, gutted the inside and pulled off the remaining bits of the upper portion for a nice, clean and most of all, not cut-your-finger-off-if-you-even-look-at-it sharp edge.

Then we ran off to a local, I'd say probably closest to an autozone? Store, where we got some springs, washers and a outside threader kit. Cut the end off the factory shaft, threaded the end, cut a spring to lenght, shoved it in and closed it with a few washers and a nut. Pretty straight forward, but later on I learned the spring I put in was too weak. First I tried a thicker spring on it, but thought that it'd be too strong for the turbo because you could barely move it by hand, so I took it out and stuck in a lighter spring, which too, I thought was a little too HD, but turns out I was wrong. BUT, I was smart enough to take the thicker spring with me, so all I have to do tomorrow morning is swap it in. At the moment it's making max 0,4-0,45 bars of boost, which is already a huge improvement, but I'm gonna try and get it up to max 0,8 bars. That should be plenty for this old thing and won't be too much, so usually it'll be from 0,4 to 0,6 bars and only come up to 0,8 at higher loads. Tomorrow we'll see what happens, what sorta numbers do we get. What I also like about this system, is that I can change the spring tension by loosening or tightening the nut

Finally all back together. And it's dark. Again. But she was spinning the passenger side rear wheel pretty enthusiastically when you gave her some beans in a corner, which was fun. Damn G80...
