Gosh...before I respond to your question...I was just wondering: just where were you wandering?

Cutting the wires to the oem *wastegate actuator* (is that what you mean?) would likely throw an engine code. It may be an attempt at a quick and dirty way to disable the oem boost limit. *shrug*

I agree with your description - it was a bad 'hack'. I'd recommend repairing the damage.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
