Actuator's Where to buy what psi?

[merc85]

Ok, where is the best place to buy a NEW turbo actuator for a 850/v70

Forge ones are £166.00
Volvo ones are around the same price, there is of course the ones on ebay at £45 but they vary in psi.

What would the standard 18t psi operating pressure be on its actuator, 7psi 11.5psi 15 psi?

If anyone could share some info on the above it would be much appreciated.

Cant believe its so hard to get a new actuator at a reasonable price

19t actuators run at 10psi as standard, & they are the highest Volvo one. I've got a £50 1.2bar ebay actuator, but not tried it on the road yet lol

I did try a forge one but went back to the -31(spring issues)nothing wrong with it just -31 worked better for my set up, but Hamish ordered it for me and only cost about 80 quid.

I would fit a -31 actuator if you want solid boost and no drop off

Garrett mate and they easy to fit mate but once set then no boost issue but I would not recommend using a bcs with it because you will hit 1.6 bar no probs and then new rods.but if you use mbc or ebc then no probs at all mate you can set them low or high.the -31 is too strong for the Volvo bcs to open the wastgate .

Actuator from Volvo is £201 including VAT and they have to order from Sweden.

In the end i could not be bothered with either!
