Sinclaire Member 18 Member For: 15y 13d Gender: Male Location: Picnic point nsw 2213 Sydney Posted 21/11/11 12:40 AM Author Share Posted 21/11/11 12:40 AM Thanks for the advise. So I should get a new actuator and maybe injectors. I really wanted to keep the stock injectors so I can redlash the stock tune If I need. I may ask my tuner to change just the actuator and give me a safe tune with stock injectors. That'll be enough. It's a family car.

This one sounds like he is taking you for a ride.

Boost leaks also common. Actuator issues can happen but would need more info as to what he means.

For the actuator, he said not to use the race tune and not to rev past 5000 rpm on the street tune as I could get boost spike and I could blow my engine. So, for nearly $2500, I now have a car that I'm worried to drive in fear of something going terribly wrong. I'm starting to regret the whole thing.
