I have a greddy 18g turbo on my 96 hatch w/ a b18c. The problem I have is that the greddy internal wastegate actuator is shot. As soon as it opens, the actuator leaks all of my boost out of the hole in the back where the arm is attached; the diaphram is ruptured.

1st question:
Does anyone know where I can get another actuator that would be compatible where this turbo without any modifications? I have looked everywhere, and even Greddy says they are on backorder.

2nd question:
Should I just upgrade to an external setup instead? I know this would be more ideal, but I would rather not because of the cost, new manifold(or welding a flange on the old one) and the fact that I will never run more than 12 lbs of boost with this setup.

I think finding a new or used greddy actuator is the best idea for what I need, so if anyone can help me out, that would be great.
