Forge turbo actuator replacements

jpsimon · 09-03-2012, 10:43 PM

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere... I just noticed Forge offers replacement actuators for our turbos:
http://forgemotorsport.com/content.a...oduct=FMACBM35

has anyone tried these?

Quote:

These turbo actuators have been developed specifically for BMW’s N54 twin turbo motor, as found in the BMW 135,335 and 535 models, Whilst similar to the actuators as used from the factory , these have the added benefit of :
The entire valve assembly is precision CNC machined from T6-6061 billet aluminum alloy on our very own Mazak CNC milling machines.
The actuators are fully tunable by way of proprietary interchangeable springs
Suitable as a direct replacement replacement for a stock car or one that is heavily modified.
They are capable of handling an infinitely wider range of boost pressure, more reliably, than the OEM actuators.
This product is built with a predetermined actuator spring suitable for at, or slightly above factory boost levels. The actuator can be assembled with a stiffer spring upon request. Please contact us directly concerning this process

Nice find. This is the first that I have heard of this product.

A quick google search shows 1 thread from each of the other forums from 2011 but nothing else. There's comments from only one guy (OddJobb) who actually has/had these, and he had an issue that Forge did take care of for him. No other reports from people who have used these though.

Asr offers them with there upgraded turbos

Asr has them on their turbo upgrades.
I contacted Forge to hear if they would resolve my wastgate rattle and they told me their actuaters would not solve the problem since Wategater. is a design fault on the wastegate flap inside the turbo.
I think RB tested them without improvement check out the outher forum
