Thought I would give you the heads up just incase you didn't know before fitting the turbosmart actuator chuck the mounting bracket it comes with in the bin and cut the bracket off of the OE actuator you are swapping it with! As the turbosmart bracket is inferior and tends to bend/warp causing boost issues 👍 Also when fitting the new inlet manifold you might run into issues with it rubbing/hitting the alternator some do some don't if it does purchase yourself a thermal spacer to fit a long with a new gasket! Also beware of the injector rail mounting holes as some of them strip easy AF! on some of the copy inlets same with the ECU mounting bracket holes on the side too! And while you got the inlet off blank the secondary boost control solenoid at the rear (you have to leave it plugged in electronically or it will throw up codes!) as it only limits boost in 1st and 2nd most people blank it off anyways it simplifies the setup and also gives you full boost in 1st and 2nd then and instead you can use the vac line as the feed for your boost gauge 👌
@@ken_accelerate no problem! yeah pretty easy as the OE actuator bracket is secured with rivets cut them off and drill out the two holes for the turbosmart actuator to fit 👍
The z20leh can be a great engine ❤Things to watch out for; m32 chocolate box, valve stem seals, turbo seals and penny valve, leaking rocker cover gasket, hydraulic lifters (all vaux) Also them inlet manifolds and weird thermal gaskets scream pre detonation to me. AFR gauge is a must
Cortney sport have Genuine parts and aftermarket used them for bits really good company
Courteney done all the work on my last VXR 👌. Great company
Mansory Glue 😅 Awesome mods, looking forward to more videos on this lads 👍🏴

Thanks, is the original bracket easy to mod then?
Thanks for the heads up on the bolts too 👌

Thats a lot of cool parts there going to be fun watching you modifying a car to juat making it work properly 🤣🤣
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. 🏴 🇫🇷 👍 😉
I have a fully forged mk4 gsi with a 3inch turbo back piper exhaust and goddd the piper sounds good 🤙🏻

Great vid guys
I had the same manifold it did the job u need to use 2 gaskets I only used 1 to start with and it was squealing air leak 😂👍
I've heard that is caused as the face is sometimes not perfectly flat
@ken_accelerate yeah mate it does looking forward to seeing the build 👌
Can you please share the image of where to place the defuser fins. I have my own set but not sure how to put them
Better is other turbo...gtx2860 gen 2 for 300ps+...with less boost (0,9 bar), with stock inlet manifold....because lower backpressure turbine of turbo
