Hmm is the actuator not the spring on the waste gate? confused :0/ so I can run 8Ib boost even with this 12Ib actuator?

 

You'll probably end up seeing 10-11 psi on wastegate pressure with those springs. Not exactly what I'd want to run on my stock block.

 

What are my options?

 

We sent a set to Garret, they are a GT25 60trim...

 

I suppose you could get ahold of some Forge actuators and use different springs. PM an APS dealer here on the board and ask them.

 

This way dude

sweet. thank you.

 

Hmm 200 bucks... I just noticed its the whole actuator, can I just replace the spring in the current actuators or is that not possible?

 

Yes, GT28. aka GT2560

These are NOT GT2871R's. thats for damn sure.

 

I haven't seen the ones on the tuner kit, but I know that you cannot open up the ones on the normal kit.

 

most likely the same story then.. :P shiet

 

wonder if anyone wants to trade me actuators...

just recieved a response from APS to my question:

"To change the boost setting on one of these twin turbo systems you will need to change the wastegate actuator to a different strength. This can only be done by purchasing a new actuator."

 

Now I am really confused.. I assumed the Tuner and the standard kit both have actuators and asked APS if they can be swapped...

They said this:
"Yes they would be interchangeable depending on what actuator has been used in the first place as we do not supply an actuator with the TTS/05 turbo system." (Tuner System)

but their website says this about the tuner kit

"In addition, the APS Intercooled Twin Turbo Tuner System is specified with high poundage 12 psi wastegate actuators ready for high boost pressures to deliver extreme power potential from built VQ35 engines."

So... let me go search thru the boxes and look at the turbos!!! So confused.

 

They must be thinking of the Extreme kit, which does not come with wastegates I believe. EDIT: Oops, I'm wrong, the Extreme kit does come with the wastegates. Maybe I'm thinking of the EW for the ST?

 

lol, hope this doesn't turn out like the aps downpipe/ew thing

 

Hmm I hope this guy has his facts straight, he is from the engineering department so his title says. Whats the APS downpipe Ew thing?

 

talk about thread jack.

go away, please.

U need to stop talking and start reading. a simple search will solve all your issues.

PS. if you dont know what a wastegate actuator is (and you dont) you have no right even posting in this forum, let alone cursing an APS tech.

 

Thread jack how so? Anyways, the turbo is sitting infront of me so.. im pretty sure this has an actuator what about you?...



Im not cursing him im glad he is helping me, maybe he just has the model numbers mixed up.

So... Hmm very confused now as to what my friend at APS is talking about.

 

Ah the answer is revealed, here is his response:


'Sorry I should have been more specific as they no longer come with actuators only bare turbo’s, but I am assuming that you have had your system installed before we changed this.

Because of this the actuators on the TTS/01 system should be right to bolt onto the TTS/05.'

 

wtf lol, i didn't know you could jack your own thread.. damn Aussies are hard to understand, lol j/k.

check out the motoring site in the fi section, joedirt's post on aps ew. i was really on the fence between tn and aps..... after seeing that how they treat customers and having tools like that fellow working for them, i'd hate to have a problem and have to deal with that kind of behavior.

kinda off topic but HKS needs to bring their sht to the states
