Need Help To Setup Hks Actuator

[DaveO74]

Hey Guys,

Before everbody tells me to use the search function I can assure you that I have looked and then looked again so here goes.

I bought a HKS adjustable actuator through one of the traders on these forums and I asked how to set the boost levels for my new High-Flow (Want to keep it on 10psi for run in) and he instructed me as follows- "The longer the bar the harder the spring pressure the shorter the bar the softer, less boost pressure. "

Now I have also come across a pdf whilst doing a search and it states as below

"You will need to pre set the boost you want.

128mm = .5Bar or 7.25psi

123mm = .8Bar or 11.60psi

121mm = 1.0Bar or 14.50psi

119mm = 1.2Bar or 17.4psi"

Can someone please confirm which one is correct I dont want to set what I think is 10psi only to have it 30!!

Thanks

You shorten the rod to increase boost.

"most" common is to have the rod hole missing the actuator by the thickness of the rod it goes onto.... ie you have to stretch it the thickness of the wastegate flap pivot to get the actuator to go onto the flap... make sense?

Umm not really so I go with the advice on the PDF? Maybe it's a little early in the morning...or I'm just stupid(probably both!)
