Then your forge actuator's thread is too long. I only turned 5-7 times in order to get the rod to be one hole shorter.

 

Call James at carv2. we just finished the tune with the aps st exhaust and ended up with 445whp and 430trq. i got the boost graph and except for a 5500rpm bump(cams probably), the boost curve is pretty smooth. if i can't get to a scanner i'll just take a pic and send you the graph.

 

we modified the rod so we could get more tension on the actuator. works fine for the aps st.

 

Exactly, and you should have more thread available to go with even more preload if necessary. The pic of Tig's actuator is a completely different setup where the attachment arm is short and only has about an inch of depth of female thread and is bottoming out to early in it's adjustment. I am concerned whether it was actually allowing the wastegate door to fully shut and if so, how many turns before the attachment arm bottoms out on the threaded rod.

 

Mine doesn't look like your's. I use the original APS rod just like the first picture you posted.
But....
Even with your long thread setup, as long as you can shorten it a hole or two length and pull the rod (preload) to mount it on the internal WG arm, it should work the same way.. shouldn't it?

 

the flapper is closed, i can get several turns on it before it bottoms out, but i dont think its a complete hole length, im gonna call forge, does mike work at forge?

 

I just talked to Luis @ Forge and explained the scenario. He is just waiting for you to give him a call.

 

Gotcha! So what is the maximum psi you've gotten out of a APS TT with the Unichip, upgraded actuators and exhaust? I know GRD reached 500whp with the APS 2.5" exhaust but that was on a Dynapack.

 

thanks man, i just hung up with him, hes gonna ship me out a while new actuator setup, not just a rod, pretty cool of those guys.

 

14psi.....customer didnt want any more than that. I believe MRC has gotten about 16-18psi out of theirs.

 

Really? And that's with the stock APS TT fuel system? What whp did you get at 14psi? So you're tuning the Unichip now?

 

Done

Valerie, that's for a pair right?

 

That's for each....unless they recently changed their pricing and didnt tell us. Lemme know if it looks out of line.

 

No, this was with a full return fuel system, 550cc injectors, and a UTEC.

 

thats probably right, i paid close to that for my single actuator.

 

I thought I read ppl buying them for $250 pair. Guess I was mistaken.

 

Ok, that makes sense. Any update on you becoming an authorized Unichip tuner?

 

We are going to become Unichip Q tuners, not regular Unichip. In all honesty the basic Unichip is a very crude platform. I have no doubt it can run engines safely, but its not going to be worth the high software/training costs, in order to run the system. We also need to run it on a Windows95 laptop....can anyone say EBAY?

 

I wonder when Peter at APS will switch over to Unichip Q for the APS ST and TT kits. Will they? I haven't tuned my Unichip since there is no unichip tuner in Korea.

Fortunately, Destek Unichip Q tuner just opened business in South Korea. Once the Unichip Q is available for the APS ST, I can purchase the Unichip Q from Peter, and get it tuned...
