Stainless Zip Ties don't secure very tightly. These can be pulled tight and folded over to positively lock.

i emailed a couple of suppliers ( one in toowoomba and one in brisbane ) on thursday to see if they had a beanie to fit the zd turbo but both said they did not have one that would fit because of the vnt actuator arm . i'd prefer to put a beanie on instead of the heat sheild . it will be interesting to see how you go fitting the beanie lostbenji . there's also a bolt hole lug that sticks out the side of the turbo .

Not too worried, I have a boost actuator here to put on soon.

I've heard good and bad about them.
I was keen to swap aswell

No reason to have too many issues. Quality of the actuator is good, uses a piston rather than a diaphragm and the machining is good as well.

P.S Sorry for thread hijack.

Will start another soon.

I have read they do need tuning still from shop to get arm length right..

Here you go the beanie size is in some of the first few posts.
Only cost $40 or so fits very snug. I highly recommend especially
if you have an Aux battery fitted.
As for the dump pipe I'd be getting it jet coated for max thermal result.
Keep the heat in the pipe and not transferring heat to other motor components.
Also found that gold tape cheap and effective

so what is this boost actuator . does it work off boost pressure instead of vaccum ?

Spot on..
Basically acts like a regular actuator at a set boost level. No need for vacume..
About $200 from memory..
So for the cost of a dawes / tillix valve and needle valve your most the way to this actuator..

Yep, rob that comes with it is clear not for our ZD30's with VNT's. Waste-gates would be different story.

Making my own new rod and will do my own R&D to find best length and spring pressure.
