4. Directrices de instalación

Warning: Professional installation is highly recommended. Improper installation can lead to vehicle damage or malfunction. Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning any electrical work.

1. Preparación: Asegúrese de que el motor esté frío. Desconecte el terminal negativo de la batería del vehículo.
2. Access the Turbocharger Actuator: Locate the existing turbocharger actuator on your engine. This may require removing other components for access.
3. Retire el actuador antiguo: Carefully disconnect the electrical harness and remove the mounting screws securing the old actuator. Note the orientation for proper installation of the new unit.
4. Instalar nuevo actuador: Place the new maXpeedingrods actuator, ensuring the new gaskets are correctly seated. Secure it with the provided screws. Connect the new actuator harness.
5. Reconectar componentes: Reinstall any components removed for access. Reconnect the vehicle's battery.

5. Procedimiento de calibración

After installing the new turbo actuator, it is crucial to perform a calibration using the included OBDII Fault Detector / Calibration Tool. This ensures proper synchronization with your vehicle's engine control unit (ECU).

Calibrator Indicator Lights:

• Indicador de encendido (rojo): Stays steady on when the module is powered.
• Calibration Indicator (Green): Flashes during calibration, steady on when successful.
• Calibration Failure Lamp (Rojo): Stays steady on if calibration fails.

Steps for Calibration:

1. Preparar el vehículo: Ensure the vehicle is turned off. Do not press the brake pedal.
2. Ignition to RUN: Press the ignition button twice to put the car in the RUN gear (without starting the engine).
3. Connect Calibrator: Insert the OBDII Fault Detector / Calibration Tool into the vehicle's OBD port, typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side.
4. Comprobación de potencia inicial: Upon insertion, the three indicator lights on the calibrator will briefly stay on for one second. The red power indicator should then remain steady on, confirming the module is powered.
5. Iniciar calibración: Press the small switch located at the bottom of the calibrator. The green calibration indicator light will start flashing. This indicates the calibration process is active.
6. Calibración exitosa: The green light will continue to flash until it becomes steady on. This signifies that the turbine calibration is successful.
7. Fallo de calibración: If the red calibration failure lamp stays steady on, the calibration has failed. You will need to repeat the steps from the beginning.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

Once the turbo actuator is successfully installed and calibrated, it operates automatically in conjunction with your vehicle's ECU to manage turbocharger boost and variable geometry. No manual intervention is required during normal operation.

• The actuator continuously adjusts the turbine blades to maintain optimal boost pressure and engine efficiency.
• Monitor your vehicle's dashboard for any warning lights related to the turbocharger or engine.

7. Mantenimiento

The maXpeedingrods Turbo Actuator is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. However, regular vehicle maintenance practices are essential for its optimal performance:

• Inspecciones periódicas: Periodically inspect the actuator and its connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Limpieza: Keep the area around the turbocharger and actuator clean from excessive dirt, oil, or debris.
• Salud del motor: Ensure your engine is well-maintained, including regular oil changes and air filter replacements, as these factors directly impact turbocharger health.

8. Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues after installation, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Check Engine Light / DTCs: If the Check Engine Light illuminates, use an OBDII scanner to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This can help pinpoint the issue.
• Calibration Failure (Red Light on Calibrator): If the red calibration failure lamp on the OBDII tool remains steady on after attempting calibration, repeat the calibration procedure carefully, ensuring all steps are followed precisely. Verify the vehicle is in RUN mode (engine off) and the calibrator switch is pressed correctly.
• Loss of Power / Turbo Lag:
  • Ensure the actuator harness is securely connected.
  • Verify that the actuator is properly mounted and the gaskets are sealed correctly.
  • Re-perform the calibration procedure.
  • Check for any vacuum leaks or boost leaks in the turbocharger system.
• Ruidos inusuales: Any new whistling, grinding, or rattling noises from the turbocharger area should be investigated immediately by a qualified mechanic.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, contact maXpeedingrods customer support or consult a certified automotive technician.
