Gearhead43 Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Does anyone know where to purchase a NEW internal wastegate for the T-25's? About how much do they run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff M Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I assume you mean the wastegate actuator?!?!...OEM no longer available, or I would stock them Best I have seen is from Forge Motorsport, super great/honest guys there, check them out and let them know what you need and that I sent you, they are worthy I feel of support http://www.forgemotorsport.com/products.asp?cat=tun&product=FMAC9000 It is an absolutely beautiful (and fully functional) piece!! You will need to drill out 2 holes for it to mount to the actuator base but other than that, enjoy!! Jeff M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead43 Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Thats Way Cool Maybe a Stuped Question but what Spring rating does one look for??? I was wondering the same thing....... And why would you have to drill holes? Couldn't you use the hole already used for the Factory mounted Wastegate?

Jeff M Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Thats Way Cool Maybe a Stuped Question but what Spring rating does one look for??? Yea their stuff looks even better in person 8) Prices are not bad as compared to the Asian alternatives, and Forge's stuff is top quality, and I don't impress easy, not that I have to . I just talked with the guy and told him the boost range I wanted to run and he set me up with the right spring and shortened the shaft (could not even tell he cut and re-threaded it :shock: ) so it would match our setup, they are also re-buildable and as you seen, allows different spring pressures. Guy does good work, just wish I had time to finish a car with this controller in it to test it though expect no problems, and threaded I can make sure the boost stays where it is supposed to run and not 12 to 15 psi just need to confirm the boost control in the chip responds as I expect, I am very detailed oriented about such things I just seen another reply while composing this.....the stock unit has 3 spot welds fastening the actuator, the Forge Unit has 2 bolt holes, you figure it out Jeff M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearhead43 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Ok Davis .. Thanks for the clarification... If I had the dammed old unit here with me I wouldn't be asking so many dammed questions.. (It's still sitting a Jeff Ianitello's shop Cause he wants 30 frigging bucks just to ship the busted POS back to me!!. I anit gonna pay him another 1/2 cent!! Sheeesh... If I could get the brand new wastegate off the bad Turbo I can reuse it on the one I brought from Jeff M after the turbo gets rebuilt. Davis, I'm gonna call the CheapTurbo Place before I send it out to be done and talk to those guys a bit to see wnat they have to say....
