okay, after speaking w/ my turbo guru , he figured out why i was boost spiking so bad, and it makes complete sense...i purchased my turbo used, and the arm for the wastegate was bent....i unbended it, and tried to make it straight, but obviously didn't do a good enough job...can i order a entire new wastegate arm?

 

anyone?

 

what wastegate are you using

 

are you talking about an actuator on an internal wastegate?

 

from http://www.turbcivic.net

it's the arm on the top left in the back, that arm was bent righ where it connects, and i bent it back to make it straight...where can i get a replacement?

 

ttt

 

is that a 1:16 model turbo?

you should be able to goto a junkyard and find a replacement - assuming the thing is just bolted on. I don't know all that much about internal wastegates.

 

no junkyards here, all salvage...can't go looking at all, it sucks here
