Just to end this.

 

Put new is20 turbo on, with genuine actuator on it, and actuator worked constantly and nobody could code it in.

 

Fit brand new is38 turbo on with genuine actuator on it, and it's working perfectly.

 

I removed an is20 from the car.

 

Can't explain what happened, or why it's now fixed, but there we go. Presumably car just wants more power so forced me to fit a bigger turbo.

Bizarre. But fixed.

Make sure you have a new map to ensure it works fine, as it will run more boost and may cause issues later on with excess heat. Better to be safe and make sure.

Yeah going to go once the lockdowns ended and I can travel across the country. I had it mapped before changing the turbo so worried something will now be off, but only travelling through town these days anyway.

 

Cheers.

Good job you are persistent and have mechanical knowledge.... and presumably deep pockets. You must have wondered a times if the outlay in cash and effort was worth it.

I've only to pay for the one I've fitted, thankfully, as I work in the trade so got it through my work, no labour costs either.

 

Would've been a nightmare otherwise.
