Kkr430 Dodgy Actuator, Can I Fit Something Else?

[samoo]

So this 32 GTST I bought has a KKR430 on it.

a few months after owning it, it wouldn't boost past 10psi.

Unplugged the actuator today, car boosts just fine, thought I might've had a boost leak etc, but it looks like the actuator is stuffed.

Don't really want to buy another KKR actuator, as Google tells me they're shit at the best of times.

Can I frankenstein a different actuator on to this turbo? maybe buy a standard rb20 one 2nd hand?

Just make a bracket off the turbo so the actuator mounts, match the actuator rod lengths and its all good?

I run an EBC, so don't really care about the base actuator boost level.

Have u tried a different boost controller ie a manual bleed valve to see if its definately the actuator?

my mate just suggested that too.

he reckons to double check the lines from the solenoid, and to try a bleed valve.

will try that first!

It means its a soft 7psi actuator. and if its doing 10psi means its well doing whats its made to do.

I have 20psi actuator that are direct bolton for this turbocharger. PM if interested of killing it faster.

sorry, I dont quite understand. Its run 20psi before, what has caused it to change to not go past 10?

dont really mind if I kill it faster, plan to bin this junk turbo and get a highflow or 2530 once I've fixed a few other things first.

If the boost controller has died then this will cause the lack of boost.

Cheapest test is to try a manual bleed valve or similar

bought a bleed valve on ebay then, will try that soon

fitted bleed valve, boosts fine.

ebc is stuffed or has wrong settings on it
