Default Actuator help....

Im looking to put a uprated actuator on my t3 as mine is broke by pervious owner but there seems to be so many different types of actuator and im just getting so confused....??

I have been told to get a -31 Actuator but seems to be so many different companys that sell them..

What do you run on yours and what make would you recommend..??

Cheers

Tiller

Any -31 should do the job, should all do the same job. Personally i've got a nice forge anodised one, they supply whatever strength spring you want and you can take it apart and replace the spring if it ever gets weak so should last forever!

Personally I like the garrett ones as they are more compact than the aluminum ones and the arm has a +/- 10 degress swing that makes it easy install and setup on a daily basis.

There is only one -31.. it's made by Garrett.. everything else is usually an inferior copy.. or not even a copy at all!
