hey boys: anyone have a good online source for wastegate springs? I have a stock Turbo II (T3 .42/.4 from a 2.2L 89 chrysler. Looking for an 8 psi spring.

 

just take off the actuator and cut the rod about 1/2-1' inch and screw it back..and test drive and watch the boost gauge. I did it on 42/48 t3 and i'm running 9psi consistant, no spiking like those cheap mbc. Just my theory.

 

Hmm, I don't like the sounds of that. If I don't cut enough, I'll run more boost than my fuel management is set for (and I don't trust my boost gauge ). If I cut too much, I'm SOL. If these WG springs work, and they're $30 or less, I think that's a preferred option..

 

Just find an actuator w/ a 8psi spring....it shouldnt be that difficult

Here is a link to a boost controller that ive heard is very good. First link is to buy it, the second link is to make it

Yeah, I've seen those boost controllers, not what I'm looking for. My question then, WHERE can i find the springs or used WG actuators? None of the yards around here sell just the actuators or just the spring

 

ebay(PM the ones who sell rebuilt turbos), the classifieds on various forums......
