Turbo actuator

Postby Miles » Mon Mar 02, 2009 10:18 pm

My turbo,
Is overswinging wildly, I have shortened the actuator rod.
its worse now, beleve actuator to be shot. To that end what actuator do i need to buy to replace and improve existing.
Running adaptronic, would like it to hold around 13.5psi.
Have a nice day.

Shortening the rod will increase boost.

The stated figure is the upper limit.

(I haven't done any research as to whether this is a good price or not - cheaper actuators are available from the US)

You can compensate by putting in a boost controller in- gated being the best i believe. Then it will hold whatever you like :D :D

Speak to Adam Leigh here

or you can have one of my old std actuators ..Main pain with the aftermarket ones is you have to make them fit the std actuator's bracket , the std acts are spot welded to the bracket ..... don't bin the std one without removing the bracket ......

I wouldn't go faffing too much with the boost unless you can monitor and adjust fuel .I've got a manual one way valve that is basically just a ball bearing and spring ,not a bleed as such .It helps when tuning as you don't burn fingers shortening rods :evil:
As soon as I know exactly where my boost wants to be I'll set the actuator and leave it on just that ......

Actuator rod

Postby Miles » Tue Mar 03, 2009 8:00 pm

So what is the answer here.
Do you shorten the rod or lengthen the rod?
Regarding boost controller, I have one fitted that works well.
But you still need to stop the overswing via a mechanical device.
I believe but im no expert.

Shorten rod to increase boost .
If you're running it with that boost controller have you checked that is OK ?
