To OP, I rather use the forge actuator than crush the crappy stock actuator.

when they say things like, "so forge sent me actuators that open up at .3-.5 of a bar" and "just push the top in on itself and preload the spring and u dont have to buy the lame *** FORGE ones that cost a fortune and release at one level and close at another... FORGE springs are long and lame ***", what am I supposed to think?

if you're correct, that's what I was asking...I know Sharif has a great track record so I thought I would ask the question to get that clarified.

I think the point Andrew is trying to make is that the springs are not allowing the boost that was requested when the purchase was made.Its a problem for us in South Africa to firstly returun parts as shipping sometimes costs more than the aprt itself.
That's why I have gone with the Tial external wastegate set up on my APS kit.

The forge actuators look the part and I am sure they are good.

The " quick fix" to the stock actuators seem to be working and I am keen to see the power the car makes.

So because of a communication error when ordering, you feel that the Forge actuators are less worthy than "CRUSHING" a stock actuator? MMMMMMKKKKAAAAAAYYYY!!

South Africa especially Cape Town is completely different than the rest of cities in Africa. People have a misconception of the demographics in SA.

Coloured here in Cape Town looks either asian or like latinos. See below some pics of coloureds in CT. This is a local modelling agency which will give you an idea of what females look like here.

Sorry for the info overload.. just need to rectify peoples perception of South Africa.

just a few points as you keep posting on a predominantly US site..

coloured - racists term used in the deep south to describe black people (i wouldn't really used it much here) .. i think your terms.. our coloured people are what we call mixed .. essentially they are still black people.. just lighter skinned

CT - Connecticut

Doug,
Then How come the NAACP uses the term "colored people" in its acronym?
Also the term "African American" bothers me greatly and I refuse to use it..Who am I to place a country or continent of origin on a person/persons soley based on the color of their skin? A person has dark skin, so they must be AFRICAN? That in in itself is RACIST and PREJUDICE in my book..

Perfect example,Doug your "dark skinned corect, and you not from Africa, or anywhere near Africa for that matter..In fact your a Carrbian Islander, no? Which is a commonwealth/occupied terrtory of Great Britan. Therfore you Brittish!! WTF??
