Matthewr1 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Can I replace the stock one on the turbo or do I have to go with a external? If I can keep the internal where can I get a replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 How do you know it leaks? You pump it up with 20psi and put a gauge on and it didn't hold? I never saw or heard of a leaking wastegate actuator. You can push 40psi into a stock actuator and it not blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 You do realize that if an actuator is leaking you'll have really high boost not the other way around right? Most seem to think that if the actuator is leaking that's why they have no boost. This isn't what is happening. If the flapper isn't tightly pulled shut you won't make boost but if the actuator is bad then it won't open or opens late. http://www.b2600turbo.com/images/WGactuator.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
