Stronger actuator spring is now in and with a tweak of the boost controller by performing a new basic setup I'm only loosing roughly 3psi at max RPM. With that extra boost up top, it does feel a little less asthmatic.

Got to learn how to use the EVC6 properly if I want to hold max boost all the way.

What spring you running, where'd you get it and how much?
Mine drops 0.3 bar running a Blitz dsbc

Not sure on your actuator setup and whether mine is relevant to yours, but its using a Forge actuator with a white spring. Base boost is 21.7psi i.e I can't run lower than 21.7psi.

Might be worth a look at a Forge one then. I'm not running any more than 1.3 bar at the minute on the standard 16t. Would still be nice to hold some of that extra back after 4.5k though.

You'll have to wait like everyone else for the next generation Forge actuators for the TD04

It would drop from 1.3 bar at 4500 rpm with the wastegate welded shut. The turbo is saturated at that point.

i've got a 1.2bar actuator on my 19t, think it came off ebay. Not sure on the accuracy or improvement yet as not had her on the road

When is the next gen of Forge actuators likely Steve, do you know?!

Scott..

Maybe, but still going to be an improvment over standard

Apparently is DH is still not allowed to post? said he's posted 10 odd innocent messages which are being with held and he still can't get on his home page.

Don't think your helping him to be honest

I take your Engine is forged?? who done it out of interest and how much if you dont mind me asking?

with 450 bhp what do you think? lol

They probably forge auto box's too frankie lol

Forged rods and standard pistons.

It's a Tim Williams build.

450 is really impressive on standard pistons... got to love volvo for that!

Do you run water/ethanol injection?

I have it, just not switched it on yet as I have to fiddle with the aquamist gauge to make the system work properly.
