What is a wastegate actuator ?
A wastegate actuator is a fairly simple piece of equipment – controls the boost output of your turbo, diverting excess exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel. it features a spring and a diaphragm. The spring holds the wastegate shut until the boost pressure reaches a set level, and then opens, allowing the gas to escape and reducing the boost pressure.
This controls the speed of the turbine, preventing it from over-speeding, and regulating the speed of the compressor. Ultimately, this helps to protect the turbocharger from unnecessary wear and tear, by capping the maximum boost pressure of the turbo at a safe level.
Wastegate Actuator Problems
As with all components, things can go wrong with your wastegate actuator. Over time, the pressure and heat will start to take its toll, which can weaken the spring. This can lead to the wastegate opening earlier than it should, reducing the boost pressure and performance of your turbo. The diaphragm can also fail, meaning that the valve will no longer open. This can lead to the boost pressure rising to the point that it causes serious, catastrophic damage to your engine!

Overall size appears correct, but studs do not fit mounting bracket on turbo. Spacing too narrow. E-clip not included.

This is the second time I’ve order part’s for my truck through Amazon I should’ve just snapped the first time and coughed up the money for American made parts. Lesson learned you get what you pay for!
