Synapse Auto Remanufactured HE300VG Turbo Actuator and Calibration Tool for 13-23 Ram 6.7L Cummins
Description
One of the most failed items on the 2013-2023 Ram Cummins is that of the HE300VG Turbo's Actuator. In short, the actuator is responsible for telling the turbo when to "open" and "close" for its variable geometry functionality. When the actuator fails, typically electronically, it can no longer give the proper commands to the turbo, losing VGT functionality. The good news is that the actuators are very simple to replace. The bad news is you have to calibrate the actuator to the turbo, typically requiring a trip to the shop. But no longer! Synapse Auto has released their own replacement actuator and calibration tool that will allow you to do the whole job yourself. The process is extremely simple and you merely have to plug the tool into the electronics once mounted to the turbo and follow the on-screen prompts, then its done. HOW THE PROCESS WORKS:When you receive your kit, you will get both an actuator and a calibration tool. You'll install the actuator and calibrate using the tool. Once the installation is complete, you're going to package your old (core) actuator back in the box, along with the calibration tool and return everything back to Synapse Auto. Basically, you're returning a core and renting the tool, simple as that.

6. 7 turbo actuator

"I had trouble with the first actuator that was sent out, I couldn’t get it to calibrate with the truck, I called the tech support and they sent out a replacement, which worked as supposed to. All in all pleased with the product, company and there tech support"

— Nolan K. (5/5)

Great product

"Product and programmer were great. Easy to use and instructions were clear"

— Chad O. (5/5)

Easy to use

"2020 Cumins works easy and tool makes it easy when it comes to calibration"

— Stephe S. (5/5)

Great product and easy to install

"Synapse has just the right idea; providing a loaned calibration tool along with a quality product at a reasonable price. It was so easy to replace the turbo actuator I bought, followed the written instructions and watched their YouTube video and installed / calibrated the new part. Put everything back in the box and sent it back to Synapse with the included shipping label. It saved me easily $600-$800 I didnt have to spend on a Bi-directional scan tool. Smart concept and great product."

— Shawn G. (5/5)
