Had the same problem. Thought maybe is was the actuator buy that was all in working order. Flushed the core and now it's super hot both sides.

When the heads are being machined they have to rotate the pipe to mill the head. The pipes are pressfit with a special glue from the factory. I was able to get mine all the way out with a lot of twisting and hard work. Then I used black rtv and pressed it back in at the correct orientation so far I've had no leaks.

They are probably close but you would want to check on the gear ratios and may look them both over really well to make sure all the connections are the same for the shift linkage and electrical connectors.

I've been lurking on here for awhile. I bought a 05obxt in Feb with 150k miles. It's stock except for a Grimmspeed upipie I installed. Last week I replaced all the vacuum lines intake gaskets. This week my I heard a funny noise thinking it was a boost leak and pulled right off the road and shut the car off. Checked everything and started the car and listened under the hood turbo was making a rattle so I shut the car off and had it towed home pulled the downpipe and the turbo had play. Bought a vf46 and installed the boost pill out of the vf40 in it. Took it for a drive today and got a wastegate cell and misfire in cyl 2 and 4. I've double checked everything. When I looked at my btssm it showed that my peak boost had hit 17. I wasn't logging so I have no other data. Any ideas? I've been searching everywhere and can find information that it should be actually underboosting.
