I believe they're around 18 psi max with a boost controller, 11 psi normally. Got em from atpturbo for $98 a piece, got the arms already made for the incon turbos for another 100 bucks. If you want everything I'll sell it all to you for $200 shipped, for just the actuators I'll give em to you for $150 shipped.

UpDaTe!! Sooooooo after three long months my car finally starts up on its own!! It turns out that it wasn't building up fuel pressure so I ended up having to plug the spot where I removed the factory regulator. It starts up fine, just have to get it tuned to smooth out the roughness. Still got a little bit of cleaning up to do under the hood.... re-mounting the regulator and re-doing the fuel setup will happen this week, along with the exhaust 
Will post up pics / video once it's all done

Damn, I can't win for losing.... re-did the fuel lines on the T/A so I could get my fuel pressure to act right. Made a BAD *** return line that uses the stock stuff without having to drop the tank, re-routed some things, and cleaned up the engine bay a bit. I temporarily had my fuel pressure gauge sending unit in the feed line because I had the wrong fitting, was waiting on the new one to arrive. It finally comes in and I switched them out, turn on the key to check fuel pressure and.... it's 15 psi so I was like WHAT THE ****??? Look under the hood and there's fuel spraying EVERYWHERE 
The last thing I needed to do to get my car on the road was that hose... a hose that I've taken off / put on at least a dozen times during this build and the last time that I had to do it, it takes a **** on me. Oh well, could have been a LOT worse if I'd actually started the car 
Tried teflon tape, paste, extra tightening it... no bueno. Looks like I have to change out both fittings and possibly the line coming off the fuel rail. THE SAGA CONTINUES

Lol, I almost forgot about this thread 
Still tying up some loose ends, it's been a long journey getting this car done. I should've done a little bit more research before I started putting everything together.... coulda saved myself a lot of time, money, and headache. Oh well.... red or blue pill, you live and you learn 
Plan on cranking up this beast this weekend once I'm done installing the intake manifold and re-routing my fuel lines. New pics coming as well.

Update!! I was kicking around the idea of selling my kit, but since I didn't get any serious offers I decided to just finish building it up.... and I must say, I'm glad I did . I got the exhaust re-done using a Stainless Works 2 1/2 inch ORY mated to my Loudmouth 1, and it sounds pretty damn good! Got the Alkycontrol kit mounted and wired up, all gauges working (still gotta install O2 sensor for wideband), electrical gremlins fixed, fuel issues 90% addressed (still gotta double up pumps... no money, mo problems lol) and I should be getting a new wastegate bracket for passenger side hopefully . Hell, I even had time to completely re-do my sound system while I was waiting around for stuff 
..... did a double din conversion and put in a brand new Alpine IVA-W505 with navi and bluetooth and ran some new wire for subs and amp. All that's left at this point is fuel pumps, iron out some miscellaneous b/s, do some tweaking and re-arranging in the engine bay, and re-check the tune maybe. I must say that Frost did an EXCELLENT job on the base tune though, it might be spot-on but I won't know until I get the wideband hooked up... time to stop being lazy and just do it I guess. More progress coming soon!
