Glanza Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestarlet Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 i think putting all that on mate you would be as wel with one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_Ragger Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 a was going to set it at 13 psi or 12 and a half if a can to save blowing up the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 good man. enjoy the grin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 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 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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 lolmines shagged though ;) ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
