An actuator that is adjustable by its internals rather than by lengthening/shortening its rod is much better as this stops spiking and boost creep,

A lot of s14 owners with the t28 turbos use hks actuators, there were some on ebay last time i looked

cheers Pukka.
I had a scout for HKS actuators and they seem to be non adjustable internally, anyone used the Forge style of ally actuators with different springs?

This might help a little. Link to an Aussie tuners online magazine. He REALLY knows his stuff when it comes to modifying turbo cars.

second link is very interesting although the car in question is basically like a vauxhall omega with a 3L sohc skyline engine.

OK so ive bought an ext wastegate now.
my question is, when the flange is welded to the manifold are there any issues with heatsoak into the wastgate and it sticking/leaking etc?
i was thinking of mounting the flange on a short pipe which would be welded to the manifold (got the idea from s13eaters pics of his double setup).
would this be a better bet? or is direct to the manifold OK?
