actuator

[casper]

After fitting the turbo and aem wideband at the weekend,I noticed it was a touch rich @wot so I thought I would increase the boost a bit.How wrong was I.The wise men at CR turbos have glued the wastegate end on to the actuator rod and its not moving at all,the whole rod just turns.

Get a good set of mawlgrips onit and twist it my old t2 actuator was just the same

It just does my head in,you tell them what boost you want to run,which was 18psi,so they supply it at 9psi but lock it up solid,IV had grips on it and the fooking thing wont budge:devil:

use a bleed valve then boss

[casper]

:disagree:

IIRC acutator pressure = less lag.

Bleed = lag slag ?

I will try the grips on it again tomorrow,if it dosent free up,they can have the actuator back and send me one I don't have to swing on.:p

[GT Josh]

Get it back mate! Joke!

[casper]

Your right Josh,I'm not even guna try again.They can have it back.:agree:

[BILLY-R5GTT]

I'll be in at weekend mate so if you want to leave it untill then and pop down we can get it set correctly :agree:. You sill have a few spares here too, plus my engine might be out by/on weekend which will leave that exhaust bracket free (which you can have) and if my cars getting stripped at somepoint your welcome to the fuel pump bracket too.

:agree:

Just spoke to CR turbos who have said they can't supply an actuator for 18psi,I shouldn't be adjusting the actuator and will have to use:disagree: boost control.

Negative...bleed off makes no difference to spool up time in my experience

[casper]

I understand what CR turbos are saying,its just they new what I wanted to do and now they have my money,are saying different.

Could you not explain that Surely with them glueing it they have alterd the working part you have bought rendering it almost useless the whole point they are made with threads is so that if the purchaser chooses to alter the item they would be able to? I now know another place that won't be having any of my mullah.. Looks like bleed valves the way then bood.. Cheap fix really..

thats what i thought boss

[gttjames]

when you get turbos for most cars they are glued, or have a paint mark where they are set to stop them being adjusted. Maybe the person on the phone was different to the person building it and wires got crossed and he glued it instead of leaving it. If you bought it with them knowing you want to run more than standard boost they should supply a non glued one surely

[GT Josh]

Hahaha funny you mate. New turbo and already wanna knock up the boost. Ahmen brother! :coffee:

[casper]

After I explained to them I wasn't going to just whack the boost up and hope for the best they have decided to send me an actuator that is adjustable and will hold more boost.Funny cos that's what I asked for in the firstqplace:agree:
