Default Best actuator?

Hi guys currently sourcing all the parts together for upgrading my Legacy with a vf36 turbo, im just wondering what is the best actuator to go for? I have heard the standard one is a bit of a weak point. Picked up the turbo yesterday and it will be another few weeks before it goes on the car so What would you guys recommend?

Thanks

Dan

Forge do uprated replacements.

Some vendors on eBay sell them a tad cheaper than compared to direct form Forge themselves:-

I think the only two options avalible are either a Forge one with a blue or red spring or you can send your oem actuator to Turbo Dynamics and they can uprate that one.

I was onto Turbo dynamics and they said i can send them my standard actuator and they can upgrade it for me. I will need to modify the bracket on mine too because the actuator doesnt fit with the compressor housing rotated.

do the Forge ones come with an adjustable bracket? that would save me having to modify the standard one and should bolt up easy enough

no worries, it seems to have an adjustable bracket which is one of the main things i need for it to fit. I might order one up and see what its like

Cheers
