Being an unaware goon at the time I pretty much had my pants down to my knees as soon as I walked in

If you can't tune it below 3200rpm, how do they do the steady state loading/low load stuff? Count yourself lucky I guess, considering how much it cost you for a failed attempt to tune boost/actuator setup. Imagine how far you would be out of pocket if you were getting camshafts installed.

I dunno about the btr but I can do a WOT 4th gear pull in manual mode(zf) from around 2000rpm maybe less, can double check later but im sure somebody here already knows.

What about road tuning for the final touch up an road manners. I thought that's what some tuners did anyway.

Thread tile possibly abit misleading? I've never had an issue with the Turbosmart actuators

sorry mate ,but it all started with RDP blaming the actuator ,they said that lots of tuners have nothing but problems tuning turbosmart actuators .he said due to the large diameter rubber they use in the actuator ,it is hard to control boost pressures evenly and constant . he said to replace it with a f6 12 psi one instead
