maybe not, but if your gonna change the actuator you'd be a fool not to get it set up...well a std rs put out 7-9psi and will happyly take 12psi

If it's not a rebuild i would build it up and the first drive would be to the rr.

I'd be interested to see what it make's as is.

Around 180 bhp?

a std rst runs 5 psi from the factory.std boost limit is 10 psi you have to run less than 10 max
buy a genuine -31 and pipe it direct.

as tony has said, stick a - 31 in there and send the ecu to tony so it have the chip changed, then stick some c59 plugs in and 16i ps here you come which is safe and transforms the car, trust me tony did my old rst (which my dad still owns!) 11 years ago and it's still going strong now..
