Pelican Blue-T28

Apr stage 3 ran 13.9 here. What a big difference between your new turbo and wastegate actuator vs Ed P old setup that ran 14.0 here in CA.

If you wish to race for money and find out how good I am then put up the money.

BTW - APR has been accused of the same by another tuner...who I shall not name here.

hold the brake and gas at the line and mash and let go. Now up a time slip for a stock lightning and I will show you what different tracks do. Lighnings here are lucky to hit 13.8-14.2 stock.

But as usual it went over your head.

It's the same turbo by the way. The only difference in actuators is a straight rod.

Races are won at the light. BTW a actuator is not going to drop 3/4 of a second off a car and will not make more power unless your running more boost afterwards. To make more power you have to gain more air volume and that is done by putting in a larger wheel.

to a design with a straight arm. They had wastegate issues with the parts as they came from Honeywell...this was only discovered later when some cars weren't making power the way they're supposed to. The actuator was swapped for for a straight one and then the turbos were re-clocked to make sure the gate opens the right amount for a given amount of pressure/vac on the actuator.

THAT IS ALL THEY DO...

THEY DO NO change the CHRA, I'm not sure if you're aware of this but the CHRA on the GT25 turbocharger is not serviceable by anyone other than the factory IIRC. If you try to take them apart and put them back together they will die very very soon it's a delicate process. Mind you the CHRA is something like 60~80% the cost of the whole turbo as new. Those people are getting back the exact same turbo they sent in simply with a new wastegate actuator on it. END OF STORY...I've told you this before.

APR never claimed a power increase with the new actuator, and neither did I. What the hell are you talking about man???

So - let me repeat this. APR ONLY CHANGED THE ACTUATOR - NOT THE TURBO. *PUTS HANDS TO MOUTH AND SHOUTS* <B>"I REPEAT - APR ONLY CHANGED THE ACTUATOR, *NOT* THE TURBO" </b>
