Alright so picked up a K03S hybrid on the weekend and bought the Forge Actuator off "Oceanic_green" on this site (thanks again for that) :grin:
Just wondering has anybody else had problems fitting these? as one of the screw holes doesn't line up at all and the actuator is rubbing against part of the turbo? (See picture below)

Also is the part ive circled blue meant to move back an forth quite easy or do i just tighten the bolts tight as?

you haven't got the right bracket for your type of turbo. If you ask Forge nicely they might send you the right one
As for the wastegate please don't set it without reading into it first, you will destroy something...
I'm sure someone will tell you what it should be set at, I can't remember off the top of my head

in terms of setting it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtJDy6Ipm9I
If you are planning to go stage 2, you may want a yellow spring in the actuator and in the DV I use a yellow too

Yes the plan is to go stage 2 :grin: just bought Dom's darkside intercooler and already have a yellow spring in the DV will check what spring is in the actuator, are Saab red injectors a good upgrade too?
-
usually Calibra yellows are good if you are sticking with the K03s, Saab reds if you're going K04
-
Ok thanks wazzer think im gonna be purchasing a few things in your signature haha
-
Ok guys so new bracket turned up fits perfectly all holes line up great :grin:
Problem is the rod going from the forge actuator seems to be bigger than the rod on the standard actuator?
Standard on left / Forge on right

do i need to buy a new rod now? as its almost impossible to push the bar through the wastegate hole

You might have the rod for the k04 once again ask forge nicely lol
-
Is that definitely a forge actuator? Never seen them in that shape before.

Yes its a forge i bought it off oceanic-green of this site its called a FMACVAG03G got a yellow spring in it, i emailed the guys at forge and they said this:
you will likely find the original rod is ¼” UNF whereas ours is M6 which is much more standard.
As long as the rod still goes through the eyelet on the turbo it wont make any difference
I managed to get the rod in and watched a video on youtube that i think you made Chris haha
