Count yourself lucky I guess, considering how much it cost you for a failed attempt to tune boost/actuator setup. Imagine how far you would be out of pocket if you were getting camshafts installed. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89003-turbosmart-actuators-are-rubbish/page/4/#findComment-1494348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that's what some tuners did anyway.

I've never had an issue with the Turbosmart actuatorssorry mate ,but it all started with RDP blaming the actuator ,they said that lots of tuners have nothing but problems tuning turbosmart actuators .he said due to the large diameter rubber they use in the actuator ,it is hard to control boost pressures evenly and constant . he said to replace it with a f6 12 psi one instead Edited 22/08/14 05:17 AM by gunna 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89003-turbosmart-actuators-are-rubbish/page/4/#findComment-1494397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
