I thought torquefreaks.com had them as well as forged internals?????

I bought mine from Failsafe(chris) and he got them through torquefreaks without any waiting.

I have a set of upgraded Garretts sitting at Z-Car Garage, ready to ship. I used them for about 2,800 miles. They've boosted up to 17psi....... I just installed Forge actuators and they don't hold any more boost with my setup than the Garretts. I thought the actuators needed to be heavier, but now I think my exhaust is the limiting factor. PM me if you're interested.

are you sure you meant torque freaks and not horsepower freaks? torque freaks is primarily a tuning shop and hp freaks is a huge online parts biz. albeit, they are right next door to eachother here in portland, but not affiliated.

Paranormal-
I don't think I got your PM. The site was messed-up earlier this week. I have two Garretts ready to go.
I bought all four of the actuators that GRD got from Forge for my car and
G3POs car. I pulled the heavy Garretts Torque Freaks sourced for me when they put my car together and replaced them with Forge actuators the week before Christmas. The Forge are double the price and aren't making any more boost than the Garretts, even with the heavy "yellow" springs. The guys at the shop said they were really pretty though:-) I'm not paying to reinstall the Garretts. That means I have two Garretts to sell that I already know will make 17lbs. of boost. Hardly used, $170 shipped.
