I doubt anyone sells them completely adjusted and ready to "bolt-on and go". I suppose most vendors probably send them out adjusted in the ball-park-range of where they should be, and the rest is up to you or your installer.
I wouldn't trust them as a bolt in item no matter who they came from.
As far as adjusting your stock acuators tighter to get the same affect... I don't know for certain, but my guess is that the EVO actuators will hold low RPM boost better because of the spring rate. I know my GT2 gets killer boost under part throttle and at low RPM now that I've installed the EVO actuators. It's not uncommon for me to see .7bar - .9bar just driving around town.

My misunderstanding. Stanford was nice enough to PM me. I was talking about buying a new turbo with WG already in place. It has been so long since I have seen this thread that I forgot the discussion is about a loose WG being installed on the existing turbo already on the car. Sorry for the confusion.

However, the most noticeable difference is how early the boost strats to build, and how storng the car feels now under only light throttle.
Worth the $$$ IMO

I dont understand how the upgraded actuators help build boost earlier... do the stock ones open slightly even on very low pressures?
