Re:struggling with 14b turbo

it seems to me that with a place of steel, a bandsaw and about 30 minutes of time you could make an adapter bracket to keep the stock actuator.

......... well thats what i'm going to try anyway.

Re:struggling with 14b turbo

i've read that the stock acutator isnt so good and the carb spring works better and i can adjust my boost lower than 7-8psi.

Re:struggling with 14b turbo

just using a carb srping isnt really good at all...not easy to adjust, and (in my experience) the boost can spike at part throttle where there is less exhaust pushing up against the spring....use a real actuator, you can fin ones that open at low pressure
