That is the upper and lower positions for the WG (basically fully open and close) and resting position. Have those shown and run this test POSITION TEST OF END STOPS:

Ignore the values I am looking at as they aren't the upper and lower (and it fails the test too).
Actually, if you look at acknowledgement while it runs the test you can see my upper and lower before I got the voltage right (3.398 and 0.54ish). Those do not pass. As you can see your lower is 3.62V. That is not low enough. Should be closer to 3.8ish I think.

How does that solve anything though.....
I've run the is38 actuators and a6 ones on gtis with no issues but I recommend people use the is20 ones if they have them as they seem alot less hassle to set up initially.
I think alot of issues come from not setting them up correctly and adapting them properly.
The issue here of being "stuck" is a very different issue to what others see.

I have no idea is just for me this eliminates my issue. I can intermittently get the epc not only at WOT but with moderate throttle when under 3k. Maybe sticky flapper arm? I'm pretty sure I've set up the voltage correctly but who knows.
Correct, had someone asking me about using their WG they pulled off their mk7.5 R on an aftermarket turbo and couldn't get it to past adaption.
Turns out his R came with the rubber boot style IS20 WG instead of the metal boot style one used in APR's video.
So all new people be aware of the different versions out there.

Let me know if you can't view it, or if you see something out of the ordinary. Thank you everyone.

It doesn't solve anything, just eliminates the light on the dash. The car runs exactly the same with the EPC light on the dash, or without it. I can go back to his other files if necessary.
I have no clue, but he did somehow. It was nice because I had a 4 hour drive that I made for Spring Break and it was nice not having the EPC light on during the trip, even though the car runs exactly the same. Crazy thing is the car does run fine, but it just won't boost. I even got 37mpg's on my trip (doing the math on the calculator), cruising at 80-85mph, which blew me away with how the car is running. Just isn't that fast.

Ok I will do that. I know how to find these things you mentioned, but I log using Eurodyne's software, so my question to you is, once I select these three values, how do I go about logging using VCDS? Could you write me a step by step how to please? Or do I just go into advanced measuring values, click these three values, and then hit log? Is it that simple? Also If my lower isn't low enough (3.62V's) then how do I get it closer to 3.8'ish? Do I adjust my voltage acknowledgment higher or lower (if 3.5v now, do I adjust it to 3.3v or higher to like 3.7-3.8V)?

It's basically holding itself open for safety I presume.

When you hit accelerator 99 it should setpoint down to 0.

Sorry, no need to log. What I mean is run the test and tell us what those 3 voltages are when it's done.

Eurodyne is no longer in the picture. All VCDS now.
What would that mean? Do I need to tighten it up more?
That's good to know. I sucks using Eurodyne, especially since you need to have internet access to use their program and log or do anything with it. VCDS seems like its the better way and you don't have to have internet to use it.
