Been busy this weekend,decided to put lovers in this vx as well and treat to a nice new set of front lights

Tomorrow I'm gonna replace the rear lights with new ones, wasn't too happy with the end result of splitting the lenses on them.

I spoke to Liam at mmg, he said to use the existing actuator to get a more controllable boost? What would be the benefit of upgrading it be? The Vxr air flow Meter, is it from the astral Vxr?

Yeah its a larger and supposedly more reliable one. I just thought the original actuator didnt go high enough pressure. If liam thinks it ok then must be!

Taken from the CMS website : Uprated Actuator and Bracket Courtenay Sport uprated wastegate actuators are designed to allow higher boost levels to be sustained through the mid range for increased torque for ZLET/LEL/LER/LEH KKK turbochargers. They have a much higher static break-off pressure. Our heavy duty stainless steel bracket will make for easy fitment as no drilling or cutting is required. Fits directly onto the KKK turbo units used on VX220. Will also fit garrett units with modification. May require modified software to allow higher boost to be run.

yeah, couple hours with a dremmel then plenty of sanding down to get nice. I got my local body shop to rough fit them for a couple bottles gas then we did the rest. Really pleased with them.

Finally got her on the RR today
I forgot to update here so here is a link to the drive once i fitted the stage 4 bits

http://www.vx220.org...4138-oh-my-god/
One thing i did wrong was fit the vxr injectors without greasing the O rings up so a couple were leaking, Richards Bros sorted it and got her on the RR, here are the results.
