couple te44 questions

[grocerygetter]

will the stock wastegate actuator bolt up to it?
will that actuator be fine for 20 psi or less?
how much bigger is the exhaust housing than the stock garrett one off our cars?

From what I remember the stock or TA Style Housing Actuators are not able to be used on the TE Series Turbos.

what actuator do I need to get?

Hi,
Kirban sells a nice one, also, with the kind of boost a 44 can make, you might want to use a BOV.

awesome...thank you sir!

I just figured I'd try it...if you keyslot cut the back hole on the stock wg bracket...furthest from the actuator...it will bolt up. Feels pretty secure, I'll give it a shot.

Easy to use a TA series wastegate if you use a few washers and longer bolt to hold either a STOCK or HD wastegate to the compressor housing.

Might as well try and sell muffler bearings too?

 

[grocerygetter]

no offense to anyone...but BOVs are NOT to be used for boost control....if you are...you got some issues.
