I replaced the vacuum/computer controlled system with a simple pressure based wastegate actuator (~$40) off eBay then connected it to simple/cheap wastegate controller (~$10 ) and plumbed the the wastegate controller line into a port on the intake manifold.

It seems to be working just fine. I understand there might be (now) available the appropriate wastegate actuator (at the time it was not and) so that you don't need to use a controller..

Is the evaporator a pull the whole dash to R&R?
My 124 has r134a..It leaked out over a period of 8 months maybe? I just threw another can down it and its been fine ever since. I am not sure if it leaked out because of a legitimate leak or because r134a can leak out of hoses and such (or something like that)...
