Message	With the recent discussions about wastegate actuators(mainly HKS vs Forge), I got thinking about the actuators on my turbos(GT675RS). They are the Garrett adjustable actuators and they are set @ 12lbs. I have no doubt that the Garrett actuators will do their job, but it seems like that the Forge actuators would have an advantage over the others per Kuah's posts, that is, if I had interpreted them correctly. I would like to see what more experienced have to say. Is this a good choice to swap, or is the benefits not worth it? Also, If I would happen to swap the actuators, would the Garrett actuators off of the GT675RS fit on my stock turbos? That' just gee-whizz sorta question there. Thanx all.
