managed to free it. wasnt the actuator its self which is seazied it was the bit that goes into the turbo if that makes sense? ahha :) got it warm lots of wd40 big pry bar hammer and it was free and it drives better than ever! boost is alot faster at climbing and seems to hold longer without the surging through the rev range, gonna buy a forge actuator still in a month just so i know its gonna be perfect then,

Buy the actuator but don't fit it. Save the cash you were going to spend on wheels and get a decent map at the same time as fitting the actuator. Get the car running right, then you'll be quicker than Neil in his TT which he will hate :grin:

would these 315 cc red tops be ok? as i can get them at a fairly good price, or would you go for the calibras? gessing they fit a agu?
