Important Disclaimer:
Forge Motorsport cannot guarantee compatibility with all vehicle setups, especially those with aftermarket or heavily tuned engine management systems. While this actuator is capable of handling higher boost pressures, it is the responsibility of the installer or tuner to ensure the engine and components can support the requested performance level. Professional installation and tuning are strongly recommended.
