Hey guys sorry if this is a dumb question but i have a custom turbo kit that uses a gt2871 but the actuator pressure rating is 14psi. Im wanting to run on low boost so i plan on replacing it with a turbosmart 5psi actuator, I asked the seller if i can replace it with TS but he said replacing it could cause an oil leak due to incorrect pressurization from the actuator?? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks in advance! Again sorry if this sound like a stupid question •_•
