you want a -31 mate actuator, if its for a cossie turbo anyway, theyre good enough for 350bhp ish,

Yeah, get yourself a -31 off ebay...usually pick them up for a tenner :thumb:

a tenner, wish id bought mine for that much, got a -31 anodised for £45 at national day grrr

Sold our 2nd hand one a few months back for £25!

I'm running the same Turbo on mine, i had a fairly new (MotorSport Development) -31 actuator on my K16 so modded that to fit but found that even without any preload on it it was boosting to much (over boosting and holding higher than i wanted), fitted the origional actuator (also a -31 ?) that came with the T3 and it was fine.
What management you running, Phase 2, Evo5 or aftermarket ?

[tony k]

r1ch im going for a phase 2 chip set so a standard -31 actuator will be ok

so you mean you have a cossie turbo on your c20let and not a cossowrth right? initialy thought you had a cossoworth and wanted an actuator.

does the turbo have the actuator bracket cast into the compressor housing?

i'd prob go for a -31 actuator but one of the better billet alloy ones as you can change the springs for diffarent boost pressures. think i seen them around the £70 mark brand new on ebay.

ive never seen a -31 actuator go for a tenner, more like the £30 mark s/h

yeah its a c20let with a t3 thats all i keep finding is ones for around 70 and 100 quid thats for a billet one
