I have only just brought the car but I'm keen to do anything to make my car go better, and I am a mechanic, and I hate working on my own cars, but spending a whopping 10 minutes for a performance upgrade.... I'll do it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssstututu Member 88 Member For: 13y Posted 28/01/12 09:19 AM Share Posted 28/01/12 09:19 AM Just did this on mine and wow wat a difference. But I do have one question to me it feels like the wd is lubing up the acturwator and making it open more that it should can someone tell me if they noticed a difference on their boost gauge after they did this it feels to good to be right to me.Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont increase your top end power but it will give you a smoother boost curve and that is what most people feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
