I've search 5 pages of "hks actuator" and couldn't find my solution. I've seen other people asking but no one answered them.

I bought a T28 HKS actuator, and i was wondering what were the conversions for length the arm of the WGA to boost (ex. inch/mm = ?? bar) I can't read japanese so I'm having a hard time with the manual.

Also would i measure it with the bracket off the WGA or with it on?

Thx in advance!

If I remember, there is a webpage out there that tells about stacking washers or something. Check

I think they had something on that.....

Mainly i was asking like how much inch/mm = bar/psi, because i saw a install guide in google and it said 128mm is the stock boost but i dont it goes with all WGAs

I dont think there are conversions for that.

Are there anything in the instructions or does it even have any instructions?

I just messed with mine till i had it set to what i wanted.

If it started to go past what i wanted i just went and changed it.

just measure your stock one and go from there. adjust until desired (allowable) boost.

They are still closed, or not answering phones right now. I'll try a bit later thanks

But from my research, stock boost 7 psi on HKS t28 actuator = the length of the WGA arm (not pulled) with the wastegate closed?

My s14 t28 is ~.5 bar on the stock wastegate.

Why did you buy the actuator?

Seems like you are over thinking this.

that sounds right. when i had mine, i shortened it to were i can barely pull it to connect. and it spiked to 14??? but then dropped to 12 or 10 (i forgot). this was on stock s14 t28.

-when you called they may have been on lunch. if you call now someone should pickup. but if not leave a message. one of our tech's is off today. but they'll prolly tell you the same thing. trust me, i just asked.
