Swapping out turbo actuators
Swapping out turbo actuators
Hi all,
I am looking to swap out my vacuum operated wastegate actuator for a boost operated actuator, it will be a straight swap over and I can just run a boost line from where the MAP sensor is.
My question is - which standard actuator do I need? The car has the standard KKK K14 turbo, it looks like the K03 actuator is the same - eg same mountings, I believe they are standard on other german models.
Can anyone confirm which alternate actuator I should look for - don't really want to go for an expensive adjustable one as its only the standard turbo - just need to ensure that the turbo is getting steady boost levels.
We cut the old actuator off the mounting bracket, then bought an actuator from a Mitsubishi Evo 6 from ebay for about £4 and fitted it to the original hacked mount.
