If there is nothing wrong with the K03s, personally I would wait until that blows before upgrading, but that's just me  :laugh:

Car done 125k butvturbo has no play and boosts as should in stage 2 mapping. Been let down by worn actuator though

I know its fiddly, but I am pretty sure you could get the actuator on without removing the whole turbo  :undecided:
I did mine when I replaced my K03 for the K03s so I had to but if you are keeping with that turbo I would seriously try

You can definitely change the actuator with the turbo in place but I remember having to remove the manifold and the water feed banjo bolt to gain access to one of the bolts for the actuator bracket.

That was when I had a k03s, I didn't end up using the forge actuator for the k300, the k300 was mapped with a 1 bar actuator that came with the turbo, also not sure the forge actuator from the k03 would for the k300 turbo because the k300 uses a k04 compressor housing, not a k03 housing.

Also forgot to ask which injectors you're going for?
If you haven't already bought them, I would highly recommend a set of genesis 550cc, the spray pattern is oem and fit on the stock AUM manifold/fuel rail with only the need for wiring adapters. Very good response and spray pattern.

are you sure the issue is the actuator?

Nope just guessing. Im trying to get car running 100% car on stage 2 amd map but was a 2nd hand ecu and im still on oem side mount etc so replacing actuator no matter what that will help after all oem one done 125k. Then getting fmic. Then to rtech to do fresh map properly to my car

your biggest restriction will be the SMIC, but you should have an uprated actuator with a stage 2 K03s to be honest anyway.
