How difficult is it to change the actuator?
Just bought me a -31 actuator and fancy having a bash at fitting it.

Its not that easy mate... as you know the stock job has a long rod connecting itto the wastegate, all you can do is hope that you can either find a longer connecting rod or build a SPECIAL CONNECTING ROD the original rod is so long lol

YOu need to cut the original bracket off the stock actuator or manufacture your own, and even then you need a longer connecting rod... it's not as straight forward as you would think, thats why mine is still in the box

It has the rod extension to fit the 406

Just need to know how to fit the bastard, it was taken from a highly modded 406 tub.

Aahhhh I see.... your lucky Mines off a cossie T3 I had in the shed... You have to manufacture a bracket or carefully cut your original one off the stock actuator..

Whats with this highly modded 406 tub then ? why isnt it on the site and why arent there any details about it??

Sorry to bring this back to lufe, but I got the Ported Exhaust Manifold about 2 months ago, the guy that brought it.. got it for his RST but was pissed off when it didn't fit.....lol So I had the manifold off him for a good price !
