If you buy a PTE Turbo with Internal Gate, make sure you specify which actuator that you want. I just found out today, they have a 10lb & 18lb actuator. Apparently the amount that they can hold is about twice it's spring tension. Thus the 10lb, can hold approximately 20llbs. I only raced twice last year but I would jack the boost up after each run and she would goto like 25-26# for example and then crest off to around 20-21# or so. I went thru extensive leak testing much before the racing. I talked to ExtremePSI and i guess the lighter of the 2 actuators is the one that comes standard if not specified. That pretty much sucks because I now gotta buy the heavier one. I don't think these are cheap either. I did call PTE. They catalog them as 12-22 and 18-30lbs. 18-30lb actuator is the one i need.

Just a heads up for ya's..........
