Timlowthian Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 So having yet another problem while replacing turbo (Starting to wish id never started this NA-TT Conversion now). I converted my NA-TT but on doing this found the second turbo was dead. Now after fighting to get the old ones off turns out they are UK spec on a J Spec engine. The Replacements I bought are j-spec but have clearly been dropped in transit. (see below pic) Can I transfer the wastegate from the uk spec turbos to the j-spec or are these different? They look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The uk wastegate is bigger but i would imagine the actuator which is damaged in your photo will be the same and easy to swap over. also it shouldn`t be a major job getting the broken stud out using an easy out.

Chris Wilson Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just carefully bend the pipe straight again and leave it on the turbo. So long as it's not cracked where it joins the canister it will be fine. Pedant mode. That is the wastegate ACTUATOR, not the wastegate. Whether UK spec and J-spec actuators are the same part number I don't know, but I'll check for you. Your FCD is due to be collected today. Cheers Tim.

Chris Wilson Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The parts listing do not list the actuators separate from the whole turbo assembly, as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh you right my fault that is an Actuator isn't it. I will try and bend it back tonight see if I can get it straight. I didnt want to force anything and ruin it completely.

Chris Wilson Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 If the mounting bracket itself is bent it will affect how the wastegate opens, as the preload on the diaphragm spring inside will have altered. You can disconnect the arm at the tiny circlip at the end of the rod, and hold the wastegate flap shut, and compare where the hole in the end of the arm is compared to the pin it clips on to. Compare with an undamaged assembly and get them the same to a mm. I may have a good actuator and bracket, let me know if you want me to look, but it's too late to get it out today.
