Paul Laing Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Found out by my local garage today that the cause of my annoying rattle is from the Actuator! On the ramps you can see it from under the car. The noise is so annoying i have to change it, anyone know the price for these from Toyota? Also will the TTC get rid of this rattle or not? From what iv'e been told the rod that goes into the bush (Wahey! ) is whats causing the rattle. Anyone know what i need from Toyota, which parts and numbers etc?

Cheers Paul You cant buy these from Toyota unless they come with a Turbo attached , TTC will make it worse , if you run in TTC you learn to get used to the rattle , sorry dude .

Paul Laing Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 So basically if i want to stop the rattle i have to buy a new turbo? F**k that like, thats a bit crap!!! When he pressed it with the screwdriver it stopped, is there no way of changing the bush thats inside it? Or anyway at all on how this noise can be stopped?

Wont make anything bad happen dude , see if your mechanic fancies adapting an adjustable aftermarket reg to fit , it wouldnt be that hard to do and you may be able to fine tune your turbos , who knows you may get them to boost before the redline !!!!

dude Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Also check all the hoses that go to it !!! Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 Cheers Dude for the info. Yes Monkey, it's the bit where the gold bars go into the actuator. Would insulating tape work mate? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Originally posted by Paul Laing Borrow them? Paul Borrow ....... yes a strange concept , i let you have them for a period and then you give them back !!!! that way you can tell if they cure your problem and if so hunt around for some of your own Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 Nice one! But how long could i have them for mate? I think it's just the one for the 1st turbo i need, the one you can see next to the de-cat pipe, is that right? Can i get to this by removing the intake pipe and exhaust headshield? Very kind of you Mr dude Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 Dude, can i buy the 1st turbo Actuator from you? Or has anyone got one i can but? Mines rattling and doing my head in!!!! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Laing Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 No, how do you check these mate? Take off intake and exhaust heatshield? Can you get to it then? What am i looking for? Split hoses making it rattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 Anyone know if the Actuator from a J-Spec TT would fit a UK Spec? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 You can buy uprated wastegate actuators from Fensport for the GT-Four. IIRC the ST205 has the same turbo (CT26??) as the supe so may well use the same actuators. To be honest, the actuator is probably a generic part. I think it was about 60-70 quids when I bought mine, but it was a while ago so may not be too accurate. Check them out at fensport.co.uk.
