actuator wont be the problem, the mounting bracket for it will be.

I remade the actuator bracket when I changed the garrett off the octy, for one which fitted nice. fiddly job, and you need all the parts around you to check, make etc

why do you need these silly mega stiff actuator's? a 0.8/1 bar one will be fine and fit decent boost control.

why isn't the actuator matched to the spec of the turbo in the 1st place?if the actuator wasn't strong enough it should of been changed by the people who fitted and mapped it surely?is it not holding boost? the forge one seems to be the best one and i know jbs supply these so what's the problem:confused:
