Default twin port actuators

Is anyone else on here running them on their cossie's?! and are they really worth having?! mine came with one when i got it years ago, and now the new engines run in gonna get it set up etc but trying to decide wheter its actually worth keeping it or just gettin a normal actuator

Got the review fast ford did on them a few years back but thats about all i know about them!!

be careful alot of so called twin ports leak badly on the front side due to not having a seal or a two way diaphragm.

As far as i can work out it uses pressure from the inlet to hold the wastegate closed for longer supposedly getting the turbo to spool up a bit quicker according to the write up in fast ford a few years ago............

Will let u know tony, is a -31 or -34 better on a t34 with .63 housing?! would also need an amal valve if im gonna go back to a normal actuator. Althou would have to cut the controller for it out as julian godfreys fitted it and they have glued it to that blanking plate thing on the dash and glued the plate in too
