Yes, that is it! I am sure it could cause all kinds of issues if it is opened far enough. The biggest one in your case is no-boost/low-boost. First, make sure the actuator rod isn't holding the linkage off the black set-screw. It is possible that the actuator rod is holding it open which is causing the surge since it in't solid like the set-screw and is flexing causing the big by-pass blade inside the blower to occilate open and close. It is only held on with two hex head screws so it should be an easy fix. It would also expalin why your power doesn't keep climbing like it should with a blower. Let us know what you find. Not saying anything one way or another, but I am sure Vengence doesn't hardly ever change these out so who is to say the guy who changed it just didn't un-bolt one and just throw the other one on. It looks simple enough so how can you screw it up, right???
