Yeah cool thanks

Spoke to tony at t4p who mapped my car and my car will be fine to use the actuator with stiffer springs and he said a safe level to take it up to is 1.2 bar. Wheres the cheapest place to buy the stiffer springs from? Found the actuator for £100

you have to get the spring kit from Forge, about 25 quid i think. You could probably use the yellow spring or stick with the green one

yeah wasn't too sure if you could get them anywhere else cheaper, what spring you got in at the moment?

got the standard green one, going to take the yellow one with me when i have the map tweeked just incase i need it

Hey I just got this today, can someone tell me how the preload is measured please

Thanks a lot mate, I never saw this on there website

Does this actuator fit the VL 37 turbo?

It will work with the VL36/37/38 turbo units

Need some help with this again Im really confused as the forge actuator rod is quite abit shorter than the standard, so I dont know if this is right?

I have no idea about this, but I will take a guess... Don't you just unscrew the end which attaches to the turbo, then once you get the right length, screw the nut to tighten it so it doesnt move??

In the pictures it is as far as it goes without falling off :/

Mine was no were near the end when i fitted mine, if that is as far as it goes (bearing in mine it should be about 2-3mm short anyway for preload) and you have made sure the wastegate is opening and closing fully and easily i would contact forge with the pictures you have posted

Sorry I've taken so long to reply but mine was the same as GymJunkie's, nowhere near the end. I'd definitely contact forge, did you buy it brand new?

Thanks both of you I wasnt sure if it was right not, I've contacted revolution 247 and there sending me the right rod plus the two other springs I ordered and forgot to send lol

Woo got this fitted now and its so much better that the standard actuator, what spring have you got in atm David, and whats it boosting to?

Have you had the car mapped? i forgot lol?
What is the boost pressure set to - if you fit the stiffer spring and the boost pressure is set below the yellow spring level it will overboost and instantly cut the power and go into limp mode

Yes Rich his car is mapped

Jack mines got the stiffer spring in (can't remember the colour now, yellow?) and it boosts to around 24psi

Yeah bro I had the car mapped Im not too sure what the boost has been limited to but I was told to only take it to 1.2 bar so it should be fine if the preload is set lower will it boost higher? What spring do you have in atm and whats it boosting too?

Cool man, Im suprised yours boosts so high with that spring in, I thought its only suppose to boost max of 15psi.
