So at idle, the actuator pulls the blade open and the blade is shut when the car is off. I'm thinking out loud here.

I can't mount mine as far towards the engine as I should be able to because my adjustment screw is threaded so far in that it pushes on the rod, which opens the bypass blade. I had to mount the actuator as far away from the engine as I could. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm thinking about just ordering a new actuator.

So when the car is off, the bypass blade is all the way open?

I should have taken a picture of mine. Mine is stock but it wasn't mounted flush against the edge like your second picture.

There are 2 ports on the actuator.
The port furtherest from the bypass shaft (towards the front of a CTSV) is the vacuum; the port closest to the shaft (rearward in a CTSV) is the pressure.

BTW ...
12 noon PST = 7am in Melbourne (until daylight saving changes again).

Finally a simple image with explanation!

Which one is the vacuum line? Is it X,O, P ? What time is down under if its 12noon here? Cecil.............

Haha I feel the same way Cecil!

So are you saying that Razor's post is incorrect?

 

[daowens]

No problem. I need to realign my mount and set the screw. I just moved and I couldn't find my allen wrenches.

 

[daowens]

I believe that is correct Cecil. Hopefully Ben or Razor will chime in.

 

[daowens]

Ok. That's what I thought. Just needed to hear it from a pro!

 

[daowens]

I'm confused a little. Could y'all explain the purpose of the boost bypass?

I was messing around with mine a little tonight trying to set the mount in the right place. So I need to mount the bracket like Razor did and then unscrew the set screw a little?
