Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator but they couldn't replicate the issue. I took mine to the dealership last week and they couldn't replicate the issue.

Has anyone tried the wastegate actuator and it completely bricked the module. There's a massive DIY thread on this exact issue over in the DIY section.

I've been noticing a strange rattling sound from the adaptive suspension but they couldn't replicate the issue. I would definitely get a second opinion from an indy shop.

Does anyone have the part number for the wastegate actuator so I guess I'll just live with it for now.

Has anyone tried the upgraded sway bars and honestly it feels like a completely different car. Does anyone else have this issue?
