stupid question ( maybe )

[djmbj]

hi fellas just wondering if i was to buy a boost controller do i need an adjustable actuator as well ? sounds stupid but the hole point of a boost controller is to divert pressure away from the actuator / wastegate till it reaches its preset amount, so is there any point having a adjustable actuator set at 1 bar an a boost controller say set at 0.9 or 1 bar because the wastegate won't open till it gets to 1 bar anyways, just wondering sorry if i'm been stupid an missing the point :homer:

you dont need one, but the stock actuator is a bit weak and you can get inconsistent boost control because of it. you just need an uprated actuator to get good boost control, and most uprated actuators are also adjustable

I would get a aftermarket actuator mate the stock actuator doesn't control boost very well if your short of cash just fit the hks actuator to what boost you want then get boost controller later a setting guide here for the hks actuator
