forge actuator advice.
« on: 12 May 2013, 19:14 »
ok, got my forge actuator fitted with the only spring i had which was the one it came with (red, as i bought it off toby last year).
am i going to have issues with the wastegate being held closed or will it work ok?.
it`s the type with the tapered spring so cant swap it with one of my 007p springs  :cry:

What 'stage' do you consider your self at?

What's your current spec now? Future plans?

don't run it with a red. I was hitting around 30psi with no sign of the wastegate opening on a red spring

This is the result

use a MBC with the N75 to cap boost

I was advised to use a blue spring when I had a k04-001 as the yellow was cracking open at top end.

Yeah, mines only had a Ko3 stage 1 map on it too :sad:

Probably the reason it kept cutting the boost back on load in 3,4,5 gear :grin:
