The Kinugawa billet adjustable actuator is designed and built to increase 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. Before installation and operation, please read our user’s manual carefully. Download>>Universal Manual Adjustable Forged Wastegate Actuator and Spring v1.0.0.pdf
