As long as the boost can move the lever from stop to fully open you're onto a good 'un, 15psi sounds good as a minimum boost pressure
Won't it be a pita if the turbo is on a jolly angle?
The actuator actually starts moving at about 4psi but reaches the required 11mm at about 15psi. Its not at its full 20mm+ extension till 40psi
The turbo is angled with the cold side nearer the engine than the hot side like the standard turbos are but I think I need to run it parallel to clear the water rail. I suppose parallel it'll also make it easier to do the exhaust.
The actuator is probably going to be at quite an angle under the car from clocking the housings so the worry is drive shaft and intercooler pipe clearance.
Oh and new sig. Really need some up to date photos of the car.
