I know the sabb's and volvos have adjustable actuators, does anyone know on what cars they are? And how do you adjust them? Im going to be boosting 7-8psi. Thanks for any help.

Saab 900 Turbo's have an adjustable super duper cool WG actuator.

the actuator arm is just threaded and you can make it longer to lower boost and shorter to raise boost.

Is there a max psi on this actuator,. I dont want to over boost right off the start. Thanks for the quick response.

markpa

I forgot to add what year should i be looking for?

projekteg

just make it as long as it will go that way you start off with the lowest possible boost setting, then take it for a run and see how much you're boosting, then raise it a little bit at a time. i would rather start off with 1 psi. and work my up safely as opposed to starting off with 15 psi and not expecting it

markpa

yeah thats what i was thinking also, would you happen to know what year i should be looking for?

projekteg

not sure if they have them for a 14b, i have one on a t3/t4 and rollar said they were on the saab 900's which also have t3's. your best bet is to just cut the actuator arm and weld something in there to make it longer, that will lower your boost, then you can use a manual boost controller (you can get them for cheaper than you could buy the adjustable wastegate for ) to raise it if you need to, you just can't lower it past what the internal wastegate is set at, but other than that, you can go as high/low as you want with the turn of a ****.

Im pretty sure i can use the sabb one, i would just have to make a custom bracket, Or ill just find a dsm actuator . ANyways thanks for the help.

I have a Mitsubishi starion WG actuator it is threaded so you can adjust the boost. I'm using the HMT spring trick. If you want it PM me Jiujitsukid.
