Product Details

The HKS Upgraded ACT Kit Ver. 3 uses a reinforced diaphragm and a precisely calibrated spring to manage boost pressure more effectively than stock. This is a critical component for turbocharged vehicles, as it directly controls how much boost your turbocharger produces. By ensuring the wastegate opens at the correct pressure, this kit helps prevent over-boosting and maintains consistent power delivery, especially important for modified engines or those pushing the limits of their stock turbo setup.

This kit is designed to be a direct replacement for the factory actuator, simplifying installation. The reinforced diaphragm is built to withstand the higher temperatures and pressures often found in performance applications, offering improved durability over time. Proper boost control is key to engine health and performance, and this upgraded actuator from HKS provides a reliable way to achieve that.

Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding fitment and setup for your vehicle.
