747pwr Member 68 Member For: 13y 9m 1d Gender: Male Posted 16/08/15 01:22 PM Author Share Posted 16/08/15 01:22 PM Got the actuator off part number ended in -17 and had another one that ended in -7, both Garrett items.... On my bench they both opened at 15psi but the -17 was far smoother and had a much longer stroke, the spare -7 I had kind of didn't creep just sprung out suddenly like it was sticky and then didn't really open muchSo I put the -17 back onAdjusted the pac performance "bolt on" bracket for a more direct action - was also there -7 actuator that was rubbish Then got some guidance from the legend that is wombat bellend and made the port on the housing even larger and smoothed out all the inner radius, stripped another exhaust stud once everything was together on retorquePulled it all back off - sump to oil return gasket toreFord had just closedAutobahnzzz, super cheap and repco and auto one spare parts people all looking at me like an alien when asking for the gasket I neededBought some gasket paper and made my own Heli coil in the headPut together Drove to autobahn Bought sausage at sausage sizzle Bought boost gauge Installed in car park aka hose from engine bay through bonnet, routed through window into cab and gauge sitting in lap200km /h in 4th on private road boost gauge in one hand No over boosting Thank you bellendDyno tomorrow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
