Dear Mr Bibie

You shall alway choose a correct actuator un less:

Whant a customized boostcurve.
Have pingings at a certan rpmlevel or load (where you whant to drop the
boost).
Have traction problems.
Whant to drive with different fuels (choose a APC-System)
Whant a smoth driving, without turbokick (who whants that ??)

A well tuned APC-system works very well on most cars (under normal road
conditions)
