What actuator do you recommend for 18-20psi?
I have measured a std one with a pump. It is OK till 14-15 psi, but if you shorten the rod any more than it won't be able to open the wastegate.
Or just use the std. actuator with a bleed valve?

Thanks for all the advises.

Get a genuine garrett -31, the best imo. Cheap enough new:)
