My customer who I put an SRT4 motor in his first gen can only get 11 or so psi out of his stock turbo using an MBC, will this help?

The best actuator hands down, Forward Motion.
I have one from PT Performance.

Which is the same as the Kinetic.

I have a brand new Mopar Stage 2 WGA I'd let go. Never been installed, LMK.

$95 US shipped, consider it like going from a small can to an adjustable big can on the 8 valvers.

My buddy has a AGP actuator and runs 25psi with no problem.

Did he check to see if he has boost leaks?
Thats usually the problem on SRT-4's, I know its a transplant, so
I'm not sure of his setup.

Just pick any wastegate out and post it on the SRT forums. Those guys will buy anything the forum tells them too.

Yes, and I just swapped it into another car as he wrecked his first one and same issue.

:lol: Truth! Which is why the AGP WGA is so popular with them. The PT Cruiser guys like to pick up SRT-4 Stage 2 WGAs for cheap when the SRT-4 guys ditch them for whatever the forum tells them to buys, lol.

Max boost on straight wastegate pressure is 4psi for the stock actuator, 7 psi for the S2.

I'd recommend the FM unit.

I had the stage 2 and it worked fine, but I couldn't adjust it while it was hot. The AGP unit can be adjusted on the spot.

My stock WGA spikes 15 holds 12-13 when I unplug it:wow1:

And no I don't do it on purpose, it was once by accident. Stage 1.5 FTW:lol:

Yeah thats a combination of the stock wastegate actuator being so weak and the turbo being so restrictive. Supposedly it was one of the "idiot-proofing" steps the engineers had in mind.

AGP or FM. :thumb:

Stg 2' WGA's are NOT the solution.

I used a kinetic and ran 18psi.. They are cheaper then AGP or FM.

I ran Kinetic as well before I went DSP
