Default Uprated Actuator?

Just looking over my car & noticed the actuator looks new & has a sticker on it saying Turbo Dynamics. Would this be an uprated one?

cheers

Hi mate, all i know for certain is that it has a 3 bar map sensor & full magnex system. Thats what i was told when i bought it last week, the injectors are blue if i remember rightly.

Well im no expert but light blues r standard 4x4 injectors, so it wont really b any more than stage 1, so wouldnt have thought that u would have an uprated actuator, they do go weak after a while so it could just b a new 1, but dont take my word 4 it as im no expert

I had a turbo dynamics actuator on my 'supposed' 400bhp sapph. Took it off the other week to swap to a -31 and noticed the turbo dynamics one was a standard 12 psi actuator lol

The actuator has obviously been changed. But why? you can change it by itself it wont give you anymore boost unless you lengthen the rod a bit.
