I'm looking for an Actuator to be adjustable between 6-10psi and noticed that you sell an adustable Actuators.

After reading this;

http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0001&product=FMAC049

I was wondering if you could explain something, Is the Actuator adjustable by springs alone? as you sell different rated springs but can you fore instance set it to 7 psi accurately or is the spring loaded to just 5-10psi.

E.G.
If i bought this got my compressor (electrical compressor not turbo) and set it to 7psi could i adjust it so that it would it hold tight until 7psi or will it work some where in the region of 5-10psi. :confused:

Hi Addo
Thanks for your unusual enquiry,the most accurate way for you to limit your boost
using an electronic fan type system is to install a Forge single piston dump valve
in a boost line but do not connect any vac pipes.
This can be built to be blown open at a pre-set boost levels giving you controlled
maximum boost at low cost with no complicated actuator fitting.
lf required we could build/supply a re-circ type valve if you found the atmo to loud.

Thanks for getting back to me but i think we're not off the same hymm sheet at the moment. Basically i've recently been mapped and i have a 10psi t2 actuator on my gt28r/ibiza. I've been advised to run at lesser strength actuator e.g. 7 psi then mapp the n75 valve (boost solenoid) to vent boost off this valve so that the cars doesn't strive to hit 10psi all the time.
So if i bought your T2 adustable Actuator can i set it to 7psi, or is it just the springs you can change and ther for only gaurentee between 5-10psi.

You can specify the Forge actuator to be built using a 6 to 8 psi spring and when installing the actuator onto the car you would slightly pre-tension the spring by adjusting the turnbuckle.You would confirm you final setting using a mitivac pump/gauge before running the car.
This is the most accurate way of setting you minimum boost pressure.

Ah right it is what i want then.

you tried adjusting preloads on what you have Addo?

Well the penny flap is tight to the housing as it should be but i was after a smoother pick up altough its hardly uncomfortable as it is. i suppose thats part of the fun with big turbo set ups any way.
