OK guys,

I fitted my vf37 type on today - with an issue.

The rod length on the actuator is too short. Comparing side by side the vf34 and vf36/37/42 types - it seems Forge have used the same rod. The rod length looks like it needs another 1.5-2cm on it.

This means that the you can fit the rod in - but to do so you have to extend it by applying 15psi pressure. This in turn means that since the rod is at full length already - it can't open the wastegate to regulate pressure.

I will send an email out now to Forge and Import Image to see how we can address this problem.

It looks like at this stage - its only going to affect the twin scroll turbos.
Talking to JME - a fix may be that you buy some longer 8mm bolts and some 10mm thick nuts to attach the actuator to the turbo - to gain the extra length in the rod. It may work - but obviously we shouldnt need to be doing this.

Josh from Import Image just got back to me - hes sorting it out with Forge.
More news beggining of next week.

I ran out of time today to test fit mine, but see how you go tode either way it'll be sorted quickly and efficiently.

cheers again for organising.

Jme

No the VF34's and EVO actuators should be a direct fit.

The problem is with the VF36/37 only at this stage. Although - still waiting confirmation when someone actually fits a VF34 type on.

Sorry for the shit camera phone pic, you can see that the stock twin-scroll is longer than the Forge twin-scroll (which currently uses the same rod as the vf34).

bump - got 4 VF34 actuators to be picked up!
Let me know if u plan to make it during this week or on the weekend.

good news... FORGE UK are sending longer turnbuckles!
Thanks to Josh at Import Image for sorting it out

Give it 6-10 days i rekn.
