shows 5th but 6th also shows as 5 :/ I'm sure a value could be changed to show a 6

So before christmas I fitted up the GTX35. Didn;t know I had to pre-load the actuator (doh!) so after getting it retuned wouldn't come on boost until 4250rpm,

and didn't want to go much past 15psi. So today me and my old man pulled the turbo back off and re-adjusted it. The ute goes back into FPT tomorrow morning for

it's treatment and hopefully get me into the 400+ club :D

What! hahaha. Yeah I was told. I didn't get a new bracket with the GTX so we modified the existing one to fit and that's made it a bit difficult to do on car.

Fair enough, its a bit hit and miss doing it on the car but it can be done.

All you need to do is remove the two actuator mounting locknuts and crack the rod locknut, hook up and air supply to the actuator and pressurize it so it fully extends, the you can loose or tighten it as you need to.

Would be hard to do with a .07 cover tho!

well it's all back together :/

Hey Ralph. The whole actuator arm and stuff is a DIY job. because I never got a new bracket to fit the .70 cover we

had to jig it around. It has enough pre-load now (I think) :D but your right, defo need petite lady hands to work on the thing now! haha

Ended up making a bit of exhaust to replace the CAT for "track days". The ute feels really good :)

Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow!

414rwkw @ 19psi :D
