14b turbo, broken wastegate actuator arm, assistance needed!
Hey all, I broke my stock 14b wastegate actuator arm. Couple questions...
If I drive the car w/out the wastegate actuator will this overspool the turbo?
Where can I find a replacement wastegate actuator (locally/online)
I have heard it is possible to use a carb spring as a ghetto but functional replacement, how is this done? Found it in the FAQ
Thanks!

Re: Broken wastegate actuator arm, assistance needed!
If you broke the wg actuator arm your turbo will not spool, and no harm will be done. Your car just won't boost.
Depends on what type of turbo you have. You can make just about any internal wastegate actuator fit, it just takes a little thinking. Or you might be able to find a stock one here in the classifieds or put up a wtb.
Sheeit I use a mad JDM combination of wg actuator AND a spring. This is HMT. Learn how we do ----.
So what turbo is it?

Anyways, it's a 14b..can't believe I forgot to mention that.
My setup is pretty HMT, just haven't got on here much to post
