Wow, China turbo? I bought it under the impression they were good turbos. Did think that maybe the actuator was poor. Talking to them directly they only stated that it must be a boost leak, even after telling them that I had tested all pipe work thoroughly, and that surely the only place that could leak after fitting a new turbo would be hot pipe gasket, which was newly bought. I do feel that it could pull better than the standard. Would a shoddy actuator give you the sound of wooshing leak though? I'm adamant that I will be searching for a hks actuator to eliminate it none the less. Cheer

Since fitting a speedvision hybrid ct9 imported from the us the car just isn't right. Whenever full boost comes on there is the classic wooshing noise of a boost leak however, since fitting I have replaced cheap blue piping for red samco (red is the scheme I want anyway 😁). I have smoke tested the complete inlet system with no leaks detected. I am running pressure purely on the actuator itself guided by my gauge. The question is, do I need more control over the pressure or is it simply that the actuator is poor. I'm just baffled by the clear sound of boost leak and no power in higher

Drivers genuine wind deflector for mk2 ep82 needed, ideally with mountings. Cheers

Cheers doc, Sounds like you've triad it so will take your word for it.

Don't know if anyone has tried this or if I'm way off. Fitting a new actuator, I was wondering if instead of continual adjustments when piping hot until correct release is found, would putting a mightyvac on when cold give you first time winnings? If so, would you set it at desired boost just as the wastegate lifts off or at full opening? Any insight appreciated

Feel your pain morgey, usually is a tight crack off then easy unwind. Big pair of mole grips just inwards of the ball joint will budge it, have even managed to loosen them with parrot nose pliers before. Albeit on different cars but all rack set ups are basically the same. Angle of the provided spanner placement isn't always friendly, grips help with, well 'grip' in such circumstances. Touch of lock tight on your new rod and tighten up the same way.

recently rebuilt ported ct9, in top condition!
BurtEP82 replied to Chops's topic in Starlet Parts For Sale
I'm sure it is but I don't have funds to change setup right now. Speedvision will make me happy, for time being at least. Cheers anyway dude -
Is a boost controller needed alongside adjustable actuator? Looking for advice for when I get a hybrid ct9 next month. Appreciate all input

I can vouch that all journal turbos are designed with a small amount of play in from new, they need to have it. Very tempted by this but have now got in my head that I'm getting a speedvision hybrid. Glws chops, if it's somehow not sold already -
Sorry, said the first one wasn't accepted.

As above, any going will be considered. Much appreciated
