220ish with standard actuator.

theres loads of people out there with agu ko3s running more than 230+bhp with standard actuator.

Really? I think its fair to say that 95% of OEM actuators are now becoming weak so the power level qutoed is more ideal.  Better than saying to someone your going to get 230bhp (which is a pretty decent task from a k03s and needs plenty supporting mods) and them coming away with loads less power and a dangerous N75 duty cycle and too much boost causing potential issues in future.

the reason i changed the turbo was because it was causing the car to stutter in the low rev range, i had white smoke, and my intercooler kept need be emptied of oil, its just with me spending so much money on the turbo and parts i dont want it ruining :) it feels the same as the old turbo just without the problems

if it was white smoke then its steam(engine burning coolant). blue smoke would indicate turbo or valve failure.

Can also get white smoke from oil.  Usually when the turbo dies you get white smoke?
