-31 cossie actuator should do the job nicely. Or if you have money to burn a billet one. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

The -31 are uprated Cosworth, the standard actuator is good for between 10 and 15psi depending on the pre load, and can be bought for pence off ebay.

I stand corrected If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

If its running 6psi, what is the problem with your actuator ? 9.85 @ 145mph

Is this one would be ok and is the price is ok?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alloy-Actuator-31-T3...=item43a1fd6bf5 As Tom has already said, the -31 is an uprated Cosworth actuator used by those who want higher boost than standard on a Cossie. Standard Cossie is -16 (from memory) and it delivers 0.5-0.7bar (7-10psi) with the standard factory solenoid bleed valve (Amal valve) so I presume the standard Metro one is a lower rating still as it does 4-7psi wth the factory solenoid valve. I suggest posting in the "wanted" section for a secondhand standard metro one. But if your current one is "not working properly" are you sure it is the actuator and not something like a sticking wastgate ??? Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

the actuator controls the wastegate

Also if i have standard actuator and want to put 11psi through boost controller will it work properly or will it damage it? it wont damage it, because it will still see the same 7psi, the boost controller would 'trick' the actuator into thinking the 11psi at the manifold is still only 7psi.... in basic terms Yes i moved to the darkside |

sorry guys i will sound stupid, however can you show me where wastegate is located?? can you take few pic?? Also where I can buy new, and is it easy to change it?? Thank you a lot!!! Really, if you're asking those questions it would be better getting someone to do it for you. The w/g actuator is a total pain in the ass to get access too for starters. 9.85 @ 145mph

You can't really change the wastegate as it forms part of the turbo on the T3. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

I think you need to take the car to someone who can diagnose the problem, before even considering such rubbish as a new turbocharger. 9.85 @ 145mph
