Perhaps a higher boost actuator was installed but tuned for a lower level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a higher boost actuator was installed but tuned for a lower level <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Agree more info, as in what was their reasoning as to why no gain was acheived and what they intend to do about it would be useful.Not sure how the $500 was made up but at worst they shouldn't be charging you for anything more than the actuator/labour and even then should keep working on your car until a more satisfactory tune is provided free of charge.

Actuator work seems to be a standard feature.Have to wonder why ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob82 Member 65 Member For: 18y 5m 5d Posted 07/01/06 12:24 AM Share Posted 07/01/06 12:24 AM They upgrade the actuator because they probably cant control the boost properly within the edit. They probably just use a dyno duty cycle and hope that the acuator will hold more of the boost up high. All this actuator upgrade stuff is just BS for stage 1 and stage 2 tunes. Hate to say it but I dont know of many tuning places that can control boost properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have know lost any overboost engine protection. Using a bleed valve is essentially the same thing as what most edits do they set the boost control solenoid to a set duty cycle - so its pretty much just a controlled vent; hence a bleed valve.
