Not the best of pictures... didn't feel like removing it from the plastic (Bryan had it sealed ... figured it best to leave it that way up to the point it's installed.

I'll get a couple more once it's "in there".

Jeez. He is still using that little, tiny actuator?
I thought his new design incorporated a bigger diaphragm.

I'm just glad to have it back! 10 business days was more like 40 and it ended up at my door last night rather than Dave's shop in the morning. I had to a race an ice storm to get it to Dave's and the damn storm almost won.

Couple more days and it should be back on the dyno... gettin' close.

Good luck! Be sure to post the dyno when its all said and done.

That actuator is small compared to MM's actuator, but the results pdxhak had from his dyno after preload with it was pretty good.

Can you check to see how much preload is on the actuator? Best way to do that is to pull the actuator rod off the wastegate arm and see its resting position or cycle pressure to the actuator and see the wastegate's fully open position.

BNR has two wastegate options. This is the smaller 1 bar (14.7 psi) option which is what I'm running as well. Right now I'm hitting 12psi and trailing off to 10psi. Still not using the BC. Going back on the dyno on 1/29 and will have it tuned before then. Hopefully I can pull a good number and give Ngo and gregs something to shoot for

haha. I'm looking forward to seeing some big numbers from you! I've been on the dyno enough times turbo'd that this next one will be a bust if I don't get my way. I'm to the point right now that this next dyno event, Jeff won't be the only one tuning while my car is on the dyno. lol

I'm not looking for anywhere near that level of boost.... as a matter of fact I'll likely keep it where it was before (around 6psi) for now... Come Spring I'm considering upgraded injectors at which point I'd have that higher ceiling to shoot for.

Yeah I cant wait till spring either because I want to upgrade to bhr coils; I'm still waiting on my 4.01 calibration from MM though to begin with.... Jeff do the 4.02 calibrations and higher take as long to get back? I've been waiting for about 4 months now for my 4.01

It's not how long it takes MM to do it. It's about how many other people he has to get to ahead of you because of order.

I don't have any submissions still in the queue that are 4 months old!
The oldest is 12 weeks and that is someone with some problems.
I'll go check what is going on...

Yes - kinda .
You can take your pressure line from anywhere in front of the throttle plate . It does not have to be at the turbo.

If you are using a boost controller - just tap in pre thottle body- post turbo such that the lines are not too long .
If not then straight off the end of the turbo is the common place to take it from - just to keep it simple.

The Jet Air Bleed hose is referenced to atmo. It is NOT a stable boost reference.
