Forge Motorsport were one of the first company’s in the world to design and manufacture the billet two-piece replacement aluminium turbo actuator. Originally for the Cosworth, Renault 5 GT turbo, and Lancia Integral turbos, we soon developed the largest and most diverse range of actuator replacements.

When you fit a Forge turbo actuator you will be able to fine tune and manage your specific boost requirements, this will allow for improved response and better control. This product is built with a predetermined actuator spring suitable for, or slightly above factory boost levels. The actuator can be assembled with a stronger spring upon request for tuned vehicles, and where a higher boost level is required. Please contact us directly concerning this process. It is designed and built with the intention of increasing the boost output of a turbocharged system. We cannot guarantee compatibility with all applications, nor the ability to increase the boost output beyond a level that is within the parameters set by the engine-management-system of the given vehicle at the time of installation, whether that system is factory or aftermarket
Diaphragm sealed internals are the default selection for this actuator product but customers now have the option of piston sealed internals. Unique to Forge Motorsport, this innovation offers equal performance to the diaphragm type and low maintenance due to the hard wearing nature of piston sealed valve internals.
Forge Motorsport nor any of its authorised distributors can assume any responsibility for any adverse effects resulting from the installation and tuning of this product onto a vehicle whose engine-management-system, whether factory or aftermarket, is not capable of allowing for the desired level of adjustment. While Forge Motorsport is happy to supply you with an actuator capable of holding boost beyond that of your factory unit we are in no way capable of knowing nor suggesting that your vehicle's engine or related systems are capable of supporting or surviving the stresses of such elevated boost pressure.
In The Box:
1 x FMACF500/FMACF14 Actuator
1 x Forge Sticker
This actuator is built with a stock spring as standard. If you require the FMPACTUN spring tuning kit seen in the associated products below, you will need to select the Diaphragm Type 2, 049 option.
All actuator rods are manufactured from 303 grade stainless steel.
Please note that the quoted spring pressure against the various colour codes relates to the mechanical aspect only, applicable to earlier turbocharged engines that are not ECU/solenoid regulated.
However, modern ECU/solenoid engines do not require the target boost pressure to be matched pound for pound by the quoted mechanical specification of the springs we offer. Please take advice from an appropriately qualified tuner if you are unsure of the correct spring application for your model and the planned level of tuning.

Quick delivery. Quick repair time
Ordered it from the Netherlands and it arrived 2 days later. Very nice product. Compared to my stock wastegate thuis felt much much better. Installing it was easy and sorted all my car issues immidiately. Ty FORGE for this wonderfull product!!!
The piston type have good performance and more reability , than t3 actuator, however the r in my point of view replacement Diaphragm, is the weak point to all forge actuators, you should improve it with a better compound to support heat and hard use!!!!
Great product .. fast service... easy to fit...

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.
This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier’s instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier’s approval.

Expert Answers
Hy, i have Abarth 500 ESSEESSE kit 118KW(160 PS), Would you recommend what spring i should going with?
Green; only fit stronger than stock if advised by a tuner who is carrying out modifications - also see note below.
Website note (generic).

Please take advice from an appropriately qualified tuner if you are unsure of the appropriate spring strength for your model and/or the planned level of tuning (tuning software varies and complementary spring tuning advice must be sourced from the tuners who understand the various interacting aspects of the engine in question).
Hy, i have Abarth 500 595 pista. Bought from you FMACF500 wastgate actuator but problem is too high pressure. I regulate shaft length of actuator but pressure still going over 2 bars natural pressure. Did exist some more tipe of regulation?!
hello , please can i ask did you purchase this directly from forge motorsport? please may i ask what spring rate was chosen ?
Hi, I'm looking at a turbo actuator for an Abarth ihi. I have a tune on it running 170ish bhp and a front mount intercooler. Would you recommend going with the stock spring or maybe one above stock being a little stiffer for the increased boost the car is running?
The stock green spring is recommended as a stronger spring option in conjunction with the tune may induce overboost, a stronger spring option (purple) should only be considered if the tuner who installed the map recommends this as the tuner will understand the nature of the software use to map the ECU and how it might interact with no standard hardware. I have included the website generic notes we offer onthe website in relation to this and also an unabridged list of the T2 spring mechanical specifications.

Hello, will this part be a solution for a sticking wastegate on a 64 plate twinair 0.9 86bhp
No, not if the turbocharger internal wastegate mechanism is faulty.
