Description

Product Description

A replacement turbo actuator for vehicles based on the MK6 Golf chassis with the 2.0 TSi engine, fitted with the IHI turbo. However, this unit will NOT work on IHI turbos that have the actuator welded to the turbine housing as well as the rod end permanently riveted to the flapper arm. This unit will only work on turbos that have the actuator bolted to the turbine housing and the removable arm. The OEM turbo/actuator will need to be inspected first to determine if this unit will work.

Forge Motorsport were one of the first company’s in the world to design and manufacture the billet two-piece replacement aluminium turbo actuator. Originally for the Cosworth, Renault 5 GT turbo, and Lancia Integral turbos, we soon developed the largest and most diverse range of actuator replacements.

Please Note:

The pressure figures listed in the drop-down menu above are minimum regulated pressure figures. If you are unsure, please don't hesitate to call us on 01452 380999. 

When you fit a Forge turbo actuator you will be able to fine tune and manage your specific boost requirements, this will allow for improved response and better control. This product is built with a predetermined actuator spring suitable for, or slightly above factory boost levels. The actuator can be assembled with a stronger spring upon request for tuned vehicles, and where a higher boost level is required. Please contact us directly concerning this process. It is designed and built with the intention of increasing the boost output of a turbocharged system. We cannot guarantee compatibility with all applications, nor the ability to increase the boost output beyond a level that is within the parameters set by the engine-management-system of the given vehicle at the time of installation, whether that system is factory or aftermarket

Diaphragm sealed internals are the default selection for this actuator product but customers now have the option of piston sealed internals. Unique to Forge Motorsport, this innovation offers equal performance to the diaphragm type and low maintenance due to the hard wearing nature of piston sealed valve internals.

Forge Motorsport nor any of its authorised distributors can assume any responsibility for any adverse effects resulting from the installation and tuning of this product onto a vehicle whose engine-management-system, whether factory or aftermarket, is not capable of allowing for the desired level of adjustment. While Forge Motorsport is happy to supply you with an actuator capable of holding boost beyond that of your factory unit we are in no way capable of knowing nor suggesting that your vehicle's engine or related systems are capable of supporting or surviving the stresses of such elevated boost pressure.

In The Box:
1 x FMACVAG08 Actuator
1 x Forge Sticker

This actuator is built with a green coded spring as standard. If you require the FMPACTUN spring tuning kit seen in the associated products below, you will need to select the Diaphragm Type 2, 049 option.

All actuator rods are manufactured from 303 grade stainless steel.

Please note that the quoted spring pressure against the various colour codes relates to the mechanical aspect only, applicable to earlier turbocharged engines that are not ECU/solenoid regulated.

However, modern ECU/solenoid engines do not require the target boost pressure to be matched pound for pound by the quoted mechanical specification of the springs we offer. Please take advice from an appropriately qualified tuner if you are unsure of the correct spring application for your model and the planned level of tuning.

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.

This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier’s instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier’s approval.

Mk6 golf gti ea88 ihi turbo want to map to stage 1 not sure if to go green spring as just over stock or purple.need to know before I purchase and what do you recommend diagram or piston type

Hello

I would recommend using the green spring for your application.

Hi, what spring would be best for a stage 2 tube running 260bhp

We need a bit more information. The opening question is, why you are considering changing your actuator? Have you already carried out stage 2 mapping or is it a planned engine tune?

If you have already tuned the engine, are you experiencing irregular performance, or have you been advised by the tuner to install an aftermarket actuator with a heavier than standard spring to compliment the map?

If the remap is planned, have you taken advice on installing an aftermarket actuator?

Otherwise, we recommend no stronger than the purple spring to compliment an existing stage 2 engine map installation; any heavier and there is a risk of overboosting in this model (heavier spring options being available for custom mapped stage 3 tuned models with hybrid turbo installation).
