make sure the actuator is rated as the stock item otherwise the car may be overboosting, althoug it doesn't quite sound like it.

Remove plugs and make sure you haven't cracked 1 putting it in.

Try some coils, swap with a mate to test if you can

The coils could just be starting to break down now as 120K is about a good life for a coil, maybe get 130k if your lucky.

if I put some coils in to test they would have to be out of an xr6t yeah? Ones from just an xt model would be different? what is the stock actuator part number how can I tell if its stock

also, could it possible be a computer issue not liking new turbo or something wrong in the turbo install?
