In my 2009 SS I've had a leak when I'm in vacuum (0-10 area of Vacuum) for a couple of years now. I've done a lot of research and a lot of poking around in my car. I've disconnected the Vacuum tank, I've checked both the Charge Pipes now (replaced the lower but upper is still stock), I've checked where the air filter connects to the Turbo, all I'm left with is thinking that either the Wastegate Actuator itself is bad or maybe it's that Solenoid back there. If it's the Solenoid then it's easy enough, I know how to replace that. But if it's the Actuator, is it possible to JUST get the actuator for the K04? I've got timing issues currently and I really want to get this damn issue fixed so I can get the timing issue tuned out. In your opinions do you guys believe more strongly that it's Actuator vs Solenoid or the other way around? I should note I hear the leak very clearly behind the passenger side glove box.

I'm from the Solstice world and we have the LNF as well. If by boost bypass solenoid you mean the little square shaped thing with 3 hoses that go into it, they're very simple to test....it'll take 2 minutes. There's a youtube video on how to test it. And I might warn you, I couldn't find a new one anywhere.
