Hmmm...... HKS Actuator set at 14psi (1 bar) minimum on a stock turbo which is over 12 years in use might not be a good idea. Might even blow the turbo in 10mins. lol

Who said it was on a standard turbo?

And 14psi is not quite 1 bar, its .95, which is alot when you want 1 bar.

If you look at my initial post, i did mention i want to tune the hks adjustable to stock settings as i have a bad actuator hence i am asking these questions. Sorry if 14psi is not 1bar. I just round the figure up. So it's confirmed, Hks actuator is factory preset at 14psi minimum hence i cannot use it on a stock turbo as i cannot tune it below 14psi. I was hoping to get it down to like 7psi or so.

3) If you mean that it wont go under 14psi, when i first put mine on it was at 10psi, i did not try to put it lower as i wanted more boost but i cant see why you could not drop it by a few psi.

Even if it wont go below 10psi that is still safe for a standard turbo.

Scratch that last question. I forgot that you weren't using it on a stock turbo. lol

Im using it on a high flow with a vg30 rear, but i dont remember, best way to do it is just put it on and make sure there is tension on it and take it for a spin, either you or a passenger keep and eye on it if it starts to go to high pull over and adjust it.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
