TUNE+ Upgraded Wastegate Actuator (Surge Cure)

[Ext569]

Got mine yesterday. It's a beautiful piece of hardware and the TUNE+ branding is a very nice touch.

Going to have to wait a bit to install --always some other pressing matter--, but I'll report back as soon as I can.

Sign me up for the next set Adam. You still have my $50.00 for my discount for my lifetime tune with comment.

Everyone should have their actuator now, if not it should be there Monday. USPS was a little delayed because of the up and coming holidays.

Here is the pre-load video. I am not able to make an install video because I daily my car and don't have time to take it down . It is just like installing a downpipe but instead of swapping out the downpipe you are swapping out the actuator.

Fiesta info is at the end, skip forward.

Hey Kip,

The tracking number should be in your confirmation email. Unfortunately mine was stuck in MN.

Anyone attempt an install yet? I'm thinking of doing it today

I removed my cowl and Cobb intake earlier, and I can see the stock WGA under the heat shield near the turbo. My upgraded WGA hasn't arrived yet, and I am going to research removing the heat shield as it looks slightly complex to do so.

Side note and since I removed my Cobb Intake, I drilled holes in to the bottom of the stock air box with the hope that cooler air might flow in better. I also drained my OCC and tightened all of my charge pipe clamps. I'll remove the heat shield sometime this week and install the WGA over next weekend.

Just be careful not to bend or distort the heat shield when you remove it and while its removed. If you do, it can be a pain to get back on.

If I remove the wipers, cowl, and intake (I believe I have to remove the intake right?), how long do you think it will take to get the bolts off the heat shield? I have some flexible ratchets so I should be ok... Just want to know if I can get this done in 3-4 hours.

With the cowl and intake tube removed about 10 minutes to get the bolts out of the heat shield. One of the bolts that is located under the exhaust manifold can be hard to see.

Thank you! How long do you imagine the wipers and cowl take? I definitely don't want to screw up my wipers

Well I have removed my wipers and cowl about a dozen times so it only take me about 15 minutes. When you remove the upper cowl you need to pull it gently forward because it clips to the bottom edge of the windscreen. Then to remove the lower cowl you first need to remove the headlights to gain access to 2 of the 4 retaining bolts.
The wipers fit on a tapered spline, remove the nuts and fold the wipers back to remove the tension and give them a wiggle and usually they pop right off without too much effort.

It is about a 45 minute job, the first time will take about an hour and a half. It isn't too hard.

If you didn't receive a tracking number, please email me.

Remember, this product REQUIRES a tune!

Are you talking about the tube that goes from the air box, or the tube that connects from that tube, to the turbo?
