k04-001 forge actuator
« on: 07 November 2012, 15:44 »


ordered a ko3 actuator, the 2 left holes line up. however, the further right one is nowhere near.

is there another bracket for k04-001 or will this have to do?



the rod seems to function fine so... help.

that doesn't even look like a 1.8t forge actuator in the second pic.

the turbo housing is at an angle with the bracket. but i'd rather the correct bracket if forge will supply it.

that doesn't even look like a 1.8t forge actuator in the second pic.

i've taken photos to compare the 2. appreciate it if someone with a k03 actuator could confirm mine's correct/wrong. or even better if you have one on your k04-001 :)

you have the new style forge actuator, they changed them recently.

I'd redrill the bracket, or contact forge and say it's wrong, they have a few different ones I understand.

Re drill the bracket. Seen this before as long as the rod comes out of the actuator square qhen fitted it'll be fine. These have been known to melt by the way.
