actuators v/s bleed valves, whats the difference?
Turbo Mini Forums

heard and read a lot of talk about using a different actuator to increase the boos, and also using a bleed valve to do the same! whats the difference and which is best to use?? my current thiniking is to use a bleed valve for now to get it running and upgrade the actyator at a later date, anyone got any views on this?

Sounds like a good plan, bleed valves are supposed to increase lag and not be as accurate as a good acuator. Im going to do the same route on my next one.

good, i can spend money on actuators and stuff like that after, just need to get it running for now, gonna cost enough with rebuild bits, not to mention paying for the paintjob on friday lol

Actuators oh Actuators

Iain ever changed one with the ngine in situ ?
I have heard this is impossible

Someone also told me that you can play with the adjustable arm on the actuator ?
not quite sure what this will achieve ...

Yeah i have, its not that bad, or atleast it wasnt on the one i did. Im pretty sure i took it all the way out. I just seperated the rod from the body and slide it out i think. Might of had to loosen the top engine steady to rock it forward.

Apparently the arm does alter it but it doesnt do it effeciently. They only really have one setting or something, its more to do with wastegate position.

These bits certainly add up!!
