Turbo Actuator
« on: March 17, 2013, 12:37:14 pm »
Looking to find information on and understand how it works and the differences between it and the normal DV?


Also, How do you know when its no longer working correctly?
Some people have upgraded?

They both plug and release air... :)

Iv been reading up all day so think i have a better understanding now... DV is on the intake side, and Actuator is exhaust gas side.

I dont think mines keeping shut at high boost, which makes sense considering it wasnt designed to do what remapped engines are putting out. Saying that, surprised REVO dont recommend it to be done on Stage2+ cars.
