the header is blocking the backpressure hole up at the block. If you take it off you'll see it. Also, look at your stock manifold or gasket. There'll be a mysterious hole in it, that's how the actuators get their backpressure. That hose going to the cat is a different thing. It won't do a thing for your actuators.

The ports will only open under load, revving the engine does not produce load, You have to be driving it. Put a hunk of grease on the bottom of the actuator rod, go for a spin then check after to see if it is smeared..

you tap a fitting into the airpump hose, and you put a bleeder valve on it so that the ports open when you want em too

uh i know i have said it before but i just ripped out the sleeves all together.
i honestly have not noticed a drop in performance at low rpm's. the car is still very driveable and it was a slight gain on the top end. ask vosko about it.
he has driven the car and can concur with the what i just said.

I'll give that a shot.
could the kinked rubber hose before the check valve have any affect on it?
I really want these to work
later today or tomorrow I'll try the paper clips instead of the grease, in case I was misinterpreting what I saw
