I've had a fractured pressure plate before and it would rattle horribly at idle

actually, I only let it run for a second or two.
This time, it will idle fine and I can even let the clutch out while it's in neutral, but not in gear.

This is already my 2nd transmission. the...

I have had my OEM sport shocks on w/ H&R Race spring w/ no problems

Looks great, and I would love to have the Bilsteins, but until these go out, I can't justify the purchase.

I've got over 15K miles on the OEMs W/ the H&Rs

Tranny was being replaced, so I had them throw in a stronger clutch in case I won the Stage III at the BBQ :)

I bought a kit with diff sizes of Silicone hoses at AutoZone

They had 3 common sizes of vacuum hose in the kit. It was enough to replace all my small vacuum lines and some large, leaking ones as well.

me too. My peak boost was ~12-13 psi

I can tell you where to get a good deal on the wastegate actuator if you find you need one.

The simple test I used to determine it was the actuator was to use a hand vaccum pump (MityVac) hooked...

I'll match your loose wastegate and raise you three cracks in the housing

I could sell mine to you, since my car is for sale

I still have my OEM, so I could put it back on if you are serious about buying my Borla.
