    Forge Actuator

    im after a forge actuator as my GT is not holding boost, and have been advised a better actuator is needed.

    Well i know now, £100+ on an actuator is too much, and probably not even the soloution.

    im happy to pay £100+ on an actuator to get the power to where it should be, FSE regulator also needed as it running lean, graphs to follow

    You dont need an FSE with a stock turbo.

    If Turbo is stock, you cant run more then 170hp, Standard actuator is fine n standard turbo, if anything its your boost controller whatever it is thats affecting boost.


    Dont spend £100 on an actuator, you'll be pissing money up the wall.

    as dan has said, shouldnt need a fse on standard blower, the seb2 chip should map the fuelling to be a little on the rich side iirc. im with dan on being your boost controller or possibly small boost leak under load. what method of boost control are you using. if i had a gt again i'd get a decent adjustable actuator, set it to 17/18psi and ditch other method of control. or just buy a 18psi actuator from turbo technics.

    CBA to check all them, but the second one down with your boost pressure on looks fine.

    The stock turbo wont hold any more boost then it currently is so save the cash and put it towards a ball bearing turbo and seb4 in the new year
