ratter Member 6,793 Member For: 19y 24d Gender: Male Location: @ my laptop Posted 22/08/14 10:04 AM Share Posted 22/08/14 10:04 AM with just a simple dyno run, you will be lucky just to get a boost and afr read out which is not going to tell you much about the state of the tune, data logging will help but may not tell the full story 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89003-turbosmart-actuators-are-rubbish/page/5/#findComment-1494443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have about $1100 left to spend on the ute ,and no more after that .if they can not sort it after that ,it will just stay like it till I can afford to fix it (that's if they find something wrong with it ) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89003-turbosmart-actuators-are-rubbish/page/5/#findComment-1494455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosij Donating Members 2,045 Member For: 13y 10m 10d Gender: Male Posted 22/08/14 11:36 AM Share Posted 22/08/14 11:36 AM Nothing wrong with the actuators. But if it was fitted with to much preload then your in trouble!I would deaf faintly not leave my tuners if I wasn't happy. Maybe go in there and explain your not happy and tell him to rectify it or you will have to see a new tuner! Surely they will fix what's wrong and keep a customer.Seems like maybe there's more to this story.
