you may not have the correct spring in your actuator as there are 3 different strengths of spring.

I thought this but it did used to be quicker unless it's just it has become weaker.
How can I check?

Cheers

what stage map are you running? Only real way of telling is taking the actuator off and opening it up to see what colour spring you have. Are you running a boost gauge?

I'm not sure as it was mapped when I bought it but not with many mods so I'm guessing stage one.
And yes I installed One to try and find my problem ha.

But on a new maf today and it didn't help to be honest, now it just runs really jerky and hesitates to accelerate?? Anyone know why this is?
Cheers

Re: Loss of boost / update!

Ok do today I adjusted up my forge actuator to try and increase te boost.
It rose the spike to 15 psi but then again goes down to 10 now and then bounces about all over the place would everyone agree that this is caused by a weak/wrong spring??

If so which springs are there  and how much and how do I go about purchasing one??

Another question will my k03s actuator fit a k04-001 as I am planning on doin the conversion in the spring.

Cheers for any help!
