Title: Forge turbo actuator fitment
Post by: X88DRS on June 25, 2014, 08:28:54 pm

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has fitted a forge turbo actuator to their edition 30? I'm looking for the best setting to use? Spring and arm length to nut?

I have had it fitted, it's not worth the hazzle, keep it stock

I already have the turbo off as I was having major boost problems and have changed my n75. Has no one any idea ?

Just use the forge equivalent standard tension spring in that case. iirc it's green

Update : I fitted the actuator and renewed my n75 valve. This has cured my 6psi loss of boost. For future reference I adjusted the forge actuator arm so that 8mm of thread was exposed to the end of the arm if that makes sense

This was on the yellow spring
