Is it possible to modify a standard rb25DET wastegate actuator to an adjustable item, that will able to adjust boost levels.????

Has anyone done this?

If so, will the factory two stage boost controller have to be disconnected?

Will it be capable of maintaining stable boost levels?

There is a free mod u can do to the actuator.

To get free high boost just pull the hose off the actuator. Then for low boost put the hose back on.

I would recommend NOT doing this unless ur ready to rebuild ur engine and turbo.

A cheaper way is to buy a manual boost controller which takes 10 minutes to install.

U MUST have a boost gauge reading psi or bar to set the boost safely.

Was this by chance out of an automatic 33 :P?

They are all the same. You will need to cut off the rear end of stock actuator then tab in thread on to actuation rod. Once done attach the adjustable extender.

AFAIK manual is 7psi and auto is 9psi.

Yeh I think there is a difference between auto and manuals as stated in the manuals...?

Just run a std rb20 actuator for steady 10ish psi and get a controller if you want more

Not easy to find a Standard RB20 actuator, have been looking for 2 months now, can buy a whole motor but not an actuator.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
