Fellow boosters! :) I fitted an R32gts-t wastegate actuater to my S2 (neo) Stagea 2day and hit 15psi with light throttle. I have read that the 32 act. holds 10psi. When I removed Neo act. I lined it up against the 32 act. and a steel wheel 33 turbo I have. The free length of all the act. is the same. The mounting point to w/gate flap on Neo measured the same as on the 33. I can't work out how I ended up with 15 psi. I am able to make Neo act. arm adjustable to screw up to 10-11 psi. Would there be more gain/ control buying atleast Jacar Boost controller? I did do a search to try and answer my question. Go the Stagea!!!!!!

The difference comes from the fact that the wastegate arms are welded on different angles from R32's to R33/34's. (as in, on the turbo, the little arm connected by the rod to the flap (wastegate))

You wont have much luck with an R32 actuator on a 33/34 turbo as it will just be on too much pretension, resulting in massive boosting like you are seeing. (I think, at least, that makes sense in my mind)

What you can do if you want to tighten your actuator spring is to drill a hole closer to the diaphram on the actuator rod, so you would have two holes next to each other, the stock one and a tighter one. The tighter hole, if right next to the stock one, will boost around the 9psi mark id estimate. This would be using the NEO actuator.

I have a drilled, r33 actuator on a turbo thats got an r32 actuator arm, and I boost around 9psi minimum.

THOUGH....honestly mate, Jaycar IEBC is the way to go... or at least just a "TurboTech"

      Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.

      Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
