Forge Actuator Advice Please

[D4VEY01]

Im looking at getting a forge actuator as my vw original seems weak,
I`ve got an AGU with an R-Tech stage 1 remap,
Does the actuator come with a coloured spring if so which will i need ?
Also do i need any new gaskets for anything as i might fit it myself or is there a GOOD "how to"

Nice 1

If im honest it took me the best part of 3 days with everything going smoothly and too plan, So I would deffinitely set yourself atleast 2 days aside depending on your pace and incase the car turns stubborn 

But parts wise I changed

*Oil banjo washers x2
*Coolant banjo washers x2
*Manifold-Turbo gasket
*engine oil
*engine oil filter
*coolant

I never took turbo off just manifold.

undo and get all the pipes out the way
undo 3 bolts holding turbo to manifold
undo bolt holding turbo to block
turbo should drop slightly
find all 13 manifold nuts and undo (a few you won't be able to physically see)
remove manifold
undo oil feed banjo on turbo
undo 3 bolts holding actuator on
undo wastegate nuts
fit new actuator

reverse the above

so if you reverse the above you would remove the new actuator not very good this way cant see it working some how
