Browner Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Got this off a very original, low mileage Glanza loaded with extras. It's an adjustable OEM spec actuator...Anyone see anything like this before?Browner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monty1991 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 could it be a Tom's actuator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Never seen one like that, but doesn't look oem to me, not with the holes drilled like that and the arm bent, I think toyota would do it a bit neater! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 What you mean the arm bent? All standard actuators have a bend in the arm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 What you mean the arm bent?All standard actuators have a bend in the arm... Nah the very end where it attaches to the wastegate flap. Its probably been knocked up by a mad wee jap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Could have got bent in my shed even lol! Threads and all are very neat on it doesn't look like a DIY job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 as Monty has already suggested, could very well be a JAM item. check the Hyper Revs and do a visual comparison. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Browner Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yeah JAM actuators are preset to 1 bar. I wouldn't mind the colour a new standard actuator is that colour aswel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Was the TOMs one a modded OEM ? Either way, you get your hands on some mad shit Conor haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sheehy StarletGT Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Could well be a Tom's one.Hard to know really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Browner Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Ye I have had a few JAM actuators in my time. They look exactly like a standard actuator but are preset to 1 bar boost. Confused me many a time in the early days of the starlets before I learnt about them! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
