Default Garrett Actuators??

Well my new motor is almost ready to be put back in and I'm needing some actuators. From what I have read the Forge Actuators have had problems tearing so I'm leaning towards Garrett Actuators. I have bean to Garrett web-page and they do not list their actuators so does anyone know where I can buy a set?? I hear they are a bit cheaper too...

Forge Acuators
the Forge installation manual says you have to use a pre-TB vacuum source. If you use a manifold pressure source, they warn that the diaphragms can tear.
I feel confident in using them..

Brooke-
Call Jason at Torque Freaks in Portland, OR (503)546-9900 for the upgraded Garrett actuators. They worked just as well as the Forge for me and are half the cost.
