Re: At last....
I did start looking in to replacement actuators before the turbo came up but when I found the newer VF with a fair few less miles than the first 1 I had it was just as easy to change the lot.
I'm on a 3-Port already. I like the idea of an AVCR but I'm not sure its worth it for the minor gains I'd get at the top end. I know the boost control on PFC is a little limiting with the single global duty setting but hey....
Its mapped to aim for 1.4 bar and on the rollers we saw 1.42 dropping to about 1.2 (maybe a little less!) at 7k.... This is all in 3rd on the rollers. On the road in 4th/5th I see a slightly higher peak (1.45bar max) with the slightly increased load. On the previous turbo it was peaking at about the same amount of boost (but 300/400rpm later!) but was dropping to barely 1 bar even in 4th.
