Ask about the spring pressure, but should be the FG one you are after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 4m 15d Posted 12/05/20 10:59 AM Author Share Posted 12/05/20 10:59 AM I will talk to them for sure. I suspect I could use either one but if I use the fg one a tune will be needed which is already part of the plan anyways. *I should say I was thinking fitting the fg actuator before the tune could send the ecu loopy but not 100% sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a B series spring is 5psi or something you will be limited to about 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it much quicker to pull the manifold off along with the turbo in one hit. Saved a stack of time, did everything from the top.Plan is to get the rear housing to cms and get the port job done, new actuator and perhaps assemble everything while they have it and get it all ready to bolt back up. Might add some new studs and lock washers for good measure perhaps.Putting the 16" steel wheel failure behind me I got some colour and clear on the Ghia wheels. Turned out pretty good I reckon.Fellas you think its worth ceramic coating the rear housing and manifold while its off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 4m 15d Posted 19/05/20 09:11 AM Author Share Posted 19/05/20 09:11 AM Managed to separate the rear housing after letting it sit in a bath of inox, came loose pretty easy. Port job coming! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 4m 15d Posted 19/05/20 09:30 AM Author Share Posted 19/05/20 09:30 AM Read a few articles on people having issues with seized housing.. Few of the bolts were actually hand tight. Got some nordlocks for the m10 manifold to turbo nuts and a stud kit too.I'm considering if this is a good time to buy a bolt in high flow cat considering the gate will be ported and tune up coming.
