So I should get a new actuator and maybe injectors. I really wanted to keep the stock injectors so I can redlash the stock tune If I need. I may ask my tuner to change just the actuator and give me a safe tune with stock injectors. That'll be enough. It's a family car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost leaks also common. Actuator issues can happen but would need more info as to what he means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the actuator, he said not to use the race tune and not to rev past 5000 rpm on the street tune as I could get boost spike and I could blow my engine. So, for nearly $2500, I now have a car that I'm worried to drive in fear of something going terribly wrong. I'm starting to regret the whole thing.

I've read heaps of good reviews about them on this site. The $2000 included an Xcal3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
