Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a new/used uprated turbo wastegate actuator, mine has suffered some problem and doesn't maintain constant boost :mad: while accelerating through the mid range,
Nedd to source one, have tried Volvo, they are very expensive, and would probably only give me a standard actuator, now I have an ECU upgrade I think I need more.... :sinner:
Can anyone out there help? :shifty:

I think some people use Cosworth ones!
Not sure of the cost or even performance differences apart from feeling all warm inside to think that youve a Cosworth bit on your car!!!

Are you 100% sure its your W/G and not a lazy Lamda ?
If you are try Essex Turbochargers (http://www.essexturbochargers.co.uk/index.shtml) they can do you a adjustable one for arround £80 but it will need its own mounting bracket fabricated. All in price of arround £150 will be about right thou :wink:

Personally I wouldn't want anything Cosworth on my car!!!
On a technicality, the best actuator to use is a standard one.

Cosworth stuff is great on a.... cosworth. ;) I'm talking about the old "boy racer" type cosworth though, and not the F1 stuff!!! Cossies are very low-tech compared to Volvo, and extra strong actuators are not required to hold big boost on the Volvo turbo setup.
