Hi all, I have two questions today:

1) First off, I seem to have low boost in the group 11 test in VCDS. High of 980 mbar and low of 890 mbar. Most others seem to report a high boost of 1170 during this same test. I tested my actuator and vacuum from N75, and both are in spec. My actuator rod begins movement at 2 psi and maxes out right around 16 psi.

What would you suspect at this point?

2) What's the rationale behind the zip tie mod? I understand that it's simply a bandaid fix, but what exactly fails that allows the zip tie mod to work?
