When you take your car in to get your actuator looked at ask the shop if your exhaust and intake is suitable to use with the factory tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cars stock so I don't know for sure but fairly certain an exhaust should be accompanied by a tune, and would be essential if cat&dump are changed or it will overboost.Sent via carrier pigeon Edited 13/03/14 04:28 AM by barnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't too hard getting it off, more so getting it the arm to line up properly when fitting the new one. Mad ***** to do but hey, I saved a minimum of $300 so can't complain too much.Cold air intake, high flow exhaust running 7psi on standard tune when it should be 4.5-6.

Yes the kW gain is amazing, yes there are mods which cost lot more money and gives you way less a gain - but seriously it's just so much for what it actually is. In saying that if I had the money I'd definitely do it and enjoy it.I didn't do any of those mods I bought the car like this. The only thing I did was the oil feed line and the BOV and adapter cause the idiot who owned before me got rid of the stock bosch recirculating valve and closed off the ports so the turbo was getting all kinds of crazy surge. The TS adapter and BOV sounds a lot better and I don't have to worry about the turbo conking down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actuator is not suited to a ba stock tune. Just cause your not hitting boost cut now doesn't mean it's not lean or something. And a melted engine is going to cost much more than a tune. Atleast spend like 50bucks on an elm27 and see if it's throwing any codes.Sent via carrier pigeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
