Tuner maxed out the boost and this is much as it could be dialed in.So ive got a actuator ready to go on.Any instructions on how to do it or any nasties I shall encounter?

I used a spherical carbide burr and leather gloves (for max control) and remember the "D" shape so the back of the flap doesn't catch.I think you should put regulated air on the actuator to test that it can open fully on the bench. This is a must and something that may have cost me an engine.Also Nord-Lock washers should be used under the nuts to stop the turbo working loose (cheers hawlass ) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80209-how-to-change-actuator/#findComment-1239426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
