Installation of Forge Wastegate Actuator
ok, i just installed the forge wastegate with the red spring and i just wanted to know if i need to leave the restrictor pill in line or not? i am still using XEDE to control boost if that makes a difference via the factory wastegate solenoid...
That is something you will need to ask someone at Vishnu about.
It will be specific to the requirements and perameters built into their boost control maps that I have no data about.

I would say (this is my uneducated opinion) that you should lower your boost tables. I've heard of people who have either put on the Forge or the FP upgraded actuator have very high boost spikes before they fiddled with the tuning. I plan on leaving my boost restrictor in, although I may "open" it up a little, since I can't boost more than 22.5 in 4th gear with my 100 map. 5th gear is a different story (I see about 26 psi), but Ifeel boost should be higher in 4th than it is. Smogrunner modified his boost pill when he had the TME so he could run 27 psi on race gas.

thanks, that is what i am going to try first...i am going to put all of my boost tables to 0 and see what happens...
Just to see how it turned out, I custom ordered a Black anodized actuator from Forge UK.
It just arrived this morning and here's how it turned out:
We can have these done in Red or Blue also in addition to the standard Polished finish. This does cost extra however, as we send the parts out to be done so it's costs us more than usual.
You will need to add $25 to the cost of an actuator ($170 + $25) to have them done in any color other than Polished, and these are special order only, so they may take up to 2 weeks to receive, but if anyone is interested, let me know.

Mike, I got that Black actuator from Gregg a GSC with the red spring and I run 100 oct fuel
all the time and its great.... 27psi all the time. Cant wait to Dyno it with the new actuator
and the Turbonetics intercooler.

So are these things plug and play yet? Can I just bolt one on or do I have to shorten the arm to get it to work and so on? I am looking for faster spool and atleast 21PSi at 7500RPm and so on. Is this a viable mod compaired to stock?
ok guys
my didn't came with the springs or anything like that ..I was tuned on 27psi so when I get on it it goes to 27psi but then it drops to 25psi and lower!! I also have the forge blow off valve 15 so I was running that with the blue spring so I change it to the red one and I still have problems holding the boost ..... could some body help me to find a solution please.....also I did a boost leak test I 'm didn't find one
