The box I made will run all Holset actuators. The ISX, The X15, The ones seen on dodge pickup-up trucks, ... all of them. It will also run Volvo, Detroit, Scania, etc. actuators, as they are also made by Holset.

-- Just to let everyone know,... those X15 VGT actuators are complete F$king garbage!-- Teflon bushings in them instead of actual bearings for the gears, a bunch of quick-connect pins and simple wire-clips for motor windings, and a lot of other half-arssed design flaws in them. - I see people having many problems with them in the future.

Not only that, but they use a glue to hold all the half-arssed connections together instead of properly soldering everything .. makes it where you cannot service it without destroying it when getting it apart unless you have some serious patience cutting away at the glues a little at a time as it comes apart.
