I have had some conversations with Redline Motorsport who can supply most things and seem to know their stuff. Were the actuators all the same for the Garrett T3s? I know that not all T3s are the same :) I thought I might as well go for an uprated actuator that can cope with higher boosts, rather than reconditioning my existing actuator. I say I'm not into creating a monster, but who knows? Best have the basics in case :) Paul
