Default Also not in my kitchen, but the actuators showed up!

Finally!

I called Tom today at Incon to find out where my stuff was and he said it shipped last Thursday.

Get home and there they are waiting.

These are the billet 9-20psi actuators, before I was severly overdriving my 5psi's to 14.5 with odd results.

These will take me everywhere I want to go, probably around 15psi, but 15 on these should make more power than 14.5 on the old ones since its not building boost linearly.

pics here, not for the faint of bandwidth, my new 4 megapixel camera <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If you look at them in full size the detail of the camera is unbelievable.

They go on soon, I leave for vacation in a week to goto the Formula 1 race, won't be back for 2 weeks, probably after that.

I did not even know those were available from Incon. What did those run you? I'm looking for some like that too, but 9psi is too high to start.

I see you have tickets to Montreal. I've been to that race about 6 times. Last was about 4 years ago. I also saw Phoenix and Spa in years past. Got tired of the limited access to the drivers and cars in F1, and switched to CART in Nazareth. Now that its gone, it looks like the CART Montreal race is our next home.

They were 300 plus shipping.

I think they are made in different ranges too I wanted the 9-20's.

Once Incon got them from England they ended up at my house in a few days.

We leave in 1 week for the race, can't wait to go, its going to be the first one we've been to.

Advice on the race, since its your first time:

Get whatever merchandise that you want first thing. These people come from England, and they will run out of the most popular stuff.
If you sit near the 180 hairpin, during the lull periods, stretch your legs and go sit in the Olympic rowing basin seats. There's an awning for shade, usually a better breeze, and the seats have backs.
If you leave the city right after the race, don't pay for parking on Sunday. The city has free parking (no meter money needed) everywhere that day. Find a place near any metro stop to park the car. After the race there will be zero traffic out of the city.
Bring or get earplugs. To this day, I think its the loudest noise that I have ever heard.
There's an Italian restaurant on Ave De La Montagne, either 100 feet below St Catherine, or the next street up the hill (can't remember). On the right side as you go uphill. For three years in a row, I ate there on Saturday night. Every year Coulthard was also there at that time.

Have fun.

Thanks!

We're sitting in GS22, row 3, mid section. Right out of the hairpin.

We ended up at some dump for the first 3 days, too late to get reservations, but the last 7 days we're staying at a nice B&B on St Catherines.

I'll check the italian place out.
