Ok so because I'm only getting 12 psi of boost I pulled off the wastegate today and checked the psi it opened with an aircompressor and confirmed that it is only opening at 12 psi so I assume its worn out. Can I fix this by installing a boost elbow or should I buy a new wastegate?
the only problem is the new one i have is has about a 2 inch longer rod on it than the old one could I cut it down and use it and just switch brackets?
No idea. I'd take mine all apart and check it out before deciding whether to adapt or purchase a new one. If the open pressure is the same, and the HX40 actuator fits the HX35 bracket, it's probably fine, but don't take my reassurance to the bank.
Ok the HX40 actuator fits the Hx35 bracket so I'm going to just cut down the rod weld it back together and hopefully it'll work fine. Thanks for the input
