It totally prevents the need for strong minimum wastegate pressure (high pressure springs).

That's why externals end up having better control. I wish there was an easy bolt-on actuator solution.
It can be resonably sealed, think about the Greddy type s BOV, yea it leaks a tiny bit, but does it affect how the car runs? Heck, I probly could hack a clone BOV so the rod that was the BOV piston attaches to the rod that operates the actuator. Anyone find more info on TEC's wastegates?
