Re: MY CA18 is bogging, can this cause it.....
The wastegate acuator is really tight and hard to move naturally. The tighter it is the more boost you're running. So I doubt it's the wastegate since your getting no boost. I'd suspect a major boost leak causing you to run rich. Let your car idle and spray carb cleaner at every intercooler piping joint and connection. If spraying it at a certain section causes it to stumble, that's your culprit.
