Actuator

[Glanza]

What is the advantage with an uprated actuator? i have just baught a mani de-cat rrfr fcd and an uprated pump will a need a new actuator to.

the stock actuator is very sloppy, and shit at holding high boost for very long, and as such you'll experience boost spike/creep unless you swap it for an uprated item.

So wil i be ok runing using the standard actuator with a full stainless exhaust system, de-cat , manifold, induction kit ,fcd, rrfr and an uprated fuel pump.

i think putting all that on mate you would be as wel with one

not likely mate, your best off getting a hks actuator to set the boost, then use either an mbc/ebc to give you a little easier control over the boost.

the stock one prob wont handle all that gubbins

my stock actuator isnt holding boost very well at all now. fine with just a filter but with the fmic, filter, decat, manifold and a couple other little bits it hits peak boost, then slowly drops and drops. so yeah your best off having one if your going to be boosting anything higher than standard. as jay said, get an uprated item, as well as having either a mbc or electronic bc to give you more control

cool well a hks actuator is only about £80 and a mbc is around £30 so might as well order them up.

anything else a might need

what ever you do mate, dont fit the actuator and set the mbc to say, a bar.

because if you get a boost spike you could seriiusly damage your engine..

allways set a mbc to a lower setting. as a safeguard should run sweet

a was going to set it at 13 psi or 12 and a half if a can to save blowing up the turbo

[Glanza_Ragger]

good man. enjoy the grin

as full boost comes on in the V the gauge goes right round to 0.7/8 bar, but as the revs increase the gauge gradually starts to read less and less boost... i take it this is the actuator not holding the boost then?

would getting the hks actuator require anything else to run?

sorry if im being a dumbass, but i am slowly learning!!!

[Glanza_Ragger]

lol everyones gotta learn rich mate.nah you can fit a hks actuator to a standard lump.. and itll definately hold peak boost better.

this is my next thing on my list i need, as it boosts up and drops right down to .4 lol

mines shagged though ;) ;)
