I think i'm going to have trouble fitting the actuator, so are there any negatives to welding it shut?

I relocated my actuator and re-welded the outer wastegate lever out of the way. Unfortunately I don't have any picturesI think i'm going to have trouble fitting the actuator, so are there any negatives to welding it shut?

I wouldn't do it on a 6BT since it would become a restriction, but I doubt you would push it too far with a 4BTare there any negatives to welding it shut?
The geometry isn't as nice as a non-wastegated exhaust housing.
Probably improves mileage...That's a good way to do it, not permanent either...
My only thoughts are that 25+ psi being somewhat unnecessary I think, wonder if it compromises mileage...
I actually did some figuring a while back and think that at 2000rpm and 20psi boost (no intercooler), I've got an air-fuel ratio of around 28:1.Probably improves mileage...
The AFC can only go so far down. This means more boost won't actually mean more fuel after a certain point. The more air you can cram into the engine, the more power you will have. The fuel will burn more completely as well. EGT's will be down too.
The more boost, the better. My opinion, of course.
Link to discussion?Worth reading and probably the subject of a new post here.
Sure, here it is:Link to discussion?
How about copying and pasting a few highlights?
