If the sale falls through I have a brand new in the box -31 you can have for £50. I know it is more than the above one but I know it is right as it was bought from Woodford

I had a -18 on my 3dr when i bought it. Looks identical to a -31 too. HAd no problems running 28psi through it but the lowest we could get it to run was 18psi

I have it sitting in my garage as I changed it when I changed the turbo.

-18 will be no good for the rs then don't want to run that much boost on a nearly standard engine

Tony - do u have any idea why we could not run it lower. Car was a stage 3 at the time, with hi/lo boost switch, we also wound the actuator all the way and 18psi is the lowest we could get
