Hi there, my car wuz involve in an xsiden a month plus ago. During da reapir, I notice my actuator is bended abit. Not sure weather izzit still working or busted. I've ask my mech, he said it can be "pulled" back into position i m not sure about dis so I nid sum confirmation. Pls refer 2 da pics TQ

It looks bad, da round top dented inside :(

Other stuffs dat is damage in da xsiden is, Intercooler(1st thing 2 hit), front end(gone), ic piping(broken) n more. Yeah... sheet do happens

Thanks in advance

the actuator could be pulled back to the original shape, unless
u would want to change the unit?

If you r encountering difficult in boosting up or spike then most likely its yr actuator plm...Check yr intercooler & pipings as well.
The easiest is to go for a boost leak check and you can get the answer almost immediately.

its happen to me after i hit a pajero, after repair the front panel, change radiator, bonet, hit the road again, but no boost in, its like a n/a car, then found the actuator was bend like yours picture, change the actuator then its ok.... better get other actuator...

Hmmm... in dat case, I'll juz replace da actuator. btw, I have a TD04L actuator wit me... can it be used on TD05H??? After a close inspection, I've notice da bending at the actuator's arm is in a diffrnt position compare 2 TD05.

a bented actuator may gv u higher boost...as the gate close late than before

Just be careful if it stay shut, then you are going to the max boost for once then kaboommm.

No worries, I m still running on stock Mirage ECU. So I m still having boost cut feature 4 safety
