Can't help you with the actuator, but where abouts are you from and what do you drive?
Have seen a few RS's knocking about the south manchester area lately, which i haven't noticed before

Ha ha ha, I knot that feeling very well. It's so frustrating only being able to run low boost. Keep getting pissed all over by BMW drivers

Do you go to the Manchester meets in Cheadle???

Piss Myself laughing.

The meet has moved from cheadle now, we're at the wagon and horses in Handforth, just off the A34 bypass. First Tuesday of the month. Also, there's the Cheshire meet, Newton Le Willows which is always a good laugh - 2nd and 4th wed of the month

Try driving back from germany with no boost 18 hours
getting lost and chasing a much faster rs for miles saw my turbo off, but it's ok as i have a nice new one now

I have been to the Manchester meet a couple of times this summer, haven't been recently. Cheshire is a very good meet and worth the drive up
Mine is away for winter now for the first time, as i put some wheels on which i can't be bothered cleaning everytime i go out and the new turbo cost me dearly-have ended up working at night to pay for it

Yeah its fine I think, the guy at turbosystems said it was a real nice car and couldn't really find a fault with it apart from the plugs and actuator
