wow. I just ordered some 13# ers from LPE. My actuator rods are different lengths from each side. I hope the new ones are as well. I dont mean the rod you screw on to the actuators but the actuator rods themselves....

The new ones will be the same length. You will most likely have to cut both them so they close/open the wastegates at the same time. I had to do that with mine since Incon just supplied me with various parts.

Just make the rod adjustable with a pipe coupler and 2 jam nuts. That will make the wastegates fully adjustable, this is an old GN trick I use to do and several others. Heck I thought about doing the same on my Supra with the stock twins.

The Incon kits use two shaped extensions connected to the actuators. If you have never seen the kit, the actuators can not be placed in a direct line with wastegate. The extensions have multiple angles in multiple planes so you can get everything to work without binding or hitting anything. Anyway the stock garrett actuators have to be cut down by several inches (could be more) had to play with it and the actuator rods rethreaded. So, you can easily adjust the tension on each actuator/wastegate. Although adding the coupler would make it a little bit easier on the car. I had mine all setup off the car with a mighty vac. Even with the tubular A-arm it would be a pain to have to jack up the car to adjust the wastegates.

I have always had dual port 10lb acuators on my Incons! But even those need a boost controler now.

Man I sound like a ricer! Greedy provec B. Is what I will run.
