Morning,

Have noticed R-Tech can make good power on the K03s units by replacing the weak actuators with a Forge item.

I know Chris used a Forge actuator and Calibra Yellow injectors on his AGU but am I correct in saying that the stock AUM injectors flow similar numbers to the Calibra Yellow's and therefore all I would need would be the Forge actuator?

Cheers

All depends on the map at the end of the day.

Actuator will allow you to see over ~235bhp and hold boost a lot better to redline!

Ideally yes, especially if you are mapped already.

Your boost, timing and everything else altered in a remap will be adjusted to get the best from the OEM setup, and if it was weak, then you might be seeing more/higher readings than what you mean to.

An example MAY be:  Having fuelling adjusted to say 12psi boost at 4000-6000rpm and you are able to hold 14-15psi boost between the same range, thus you might end up running lean.


Heres a plot of a forge actuator put on and ran back to back without mods from R-tech.....speaks for itself!
