Glad to hear you made some power but you should def make deadbolt pay for the next tune since it would've been over and done with but now you have to get it retuned because of their mistake. Good luck man!

hey twin! yeah i would try my best to get deadbolt to pay for it, but it will just be more headache for me to squeeze the $195 out of them. they still havent sent me my dp studs for the turbo that were missing in the box when i first got the turbo. i went ahead and bought my own. ohh well, it'll be better soon.

Yeah have fun with that. At least your problem can be changed out easy. You won't even have to remove the turbo.

most definately, its not like i spent a fortune on the actuator. I believe it was less than $80 shipped for the actuator. I'll pay $80 for the piece of mind that its a real 18 psi unit.

Wow you another person I heard about getting the wrong actuator. 2 of my friends both ordered 49's from the same people on the same day and they got wrong actuators at the same time. Their orders were placed together. Now they have Tial44's which quickly solved the problem. But it took another $700.

ATP turbo kicks a**!!! They expedited my actuator and I received it today. The can is quite a bit larger, but its an 18psi unit and thats all that matters. Now all I need to do is buy my smc kit and get retuned. Hopefully I'll be making a bit more than 300.
