What exactly did you want to acheive m8? People dont seem to be doing actuator upgrades that i've read of. There might be another more practical way to get where you want to be. Cheers. Olly

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

what year car is it?

if its 92 - 96 just get rid of the dumpvalve... turbo may not last as long but should sound right.
